Nice program. Was able to learn without reading the guide much. Would like the option to pay per document instead of subscribing via monthly or yearly.

You need t tell people that if they enter numbers with commas, the IRS filing process does not work. After lots of time and trial/error, I stumbled across that as the cause of my problems.

Awesome Customer Care Great product, great customer service. Definitely recommend. The problem I already saw turning into a huge hassle was resolved in one email. I am so relieved. Thank you guys!

Best In pdf LOVE it! Everything thing in this app is easily navigated, you are able to save documents to revise later. A big pro for me is when you send a PDF, say as soon as you hit send, you are like "oh my goodness I forget a important part" You can go into that sent email and revise or add on. As long as the recipient has not opened it yet. Im not fond of the code to open the PDF you have sent, expires for them. I'm still rather new to this so I plan on leaving another review once I figure out ALL the kinks of the app

Great service. I thought my subscription had expired but the tech support hooked me back up in a jiffy! I prefer to use PDFfiller program rather than the Acrobat Reader DC program. I will always renew my subscription in the future.

This is what makes the file so large: Excel is picking up a lot of empty cells and thinks there's data in them, which then it tries to save into the XLSX file on disk, and because it needs to keep references to all those hundreds or thousands of cells, the file size gets overblown.
Set a column to a specific width Select the column or columns that you want to change. On the Home tab, in the Cells group, click Format. Under Cell Size, click Column Width. In the Column width box, type the value that you want. Click OK.
