My original reason for joining was just to try the program and use the conversion from PDF to Word feature. Our club has need for developing forms and sign in documentation which I am exploring your features. Not as easy as I would have liked. Good product so far for my needs, but I'll make a final decision towards the end of my trial version.

What do you like best?
E-signature technology for our remote clients
What do you dislike?
Users new to e-signature platforms always struggle with how to use it, indicating that some more work needs to be done to make it 'dummy proof'.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's well worth implementing PDFfiller in any organization, especially those which have ongoing needs of signatures. The cost savings in staff time alone makes it pay for itself!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Remote clients now can sign various documents MUCH easier!

What do you like best?
Being able to change a document you need to edit.
What do you dislike?
The time it takes to learn at the age of 59. It is frustrating to not know how to work new technology quickly.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Just learning.

PDF Filler has been a great tool for our business for a professional look with a great price. Professional Look for a cheap price. The software makes filling out government documents / applications and other PDF documents easy and efficient. PDF Filler provides and saves time when filling out applications / tax papers / and other business files. It creates a professional look and is quite easy to use. With common files also at hand it makes filling these out quick and easy. The mail tool was even used when we completed our taxes. PDF Filler printed the paper out and mailed it themselves without us ever having to go to the post office. There isn't too much. If I could say anything sometimes the website moves a little bit slower than some. However this seems to have been improving lately.

What do you like best about the product? It's the best tool for PDF editing I have found so far What do you dislike about the product? Too expensive if you're not a business user (the price is too high for myself when I need the tool for a few times during the month, so it doesn't worth the price) What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you? It works perfectly as an editor, so I can easily change my documents with minimum effort.

Initially Initially, it was a bit difficult to insert the text; but after a while I discovered the "T" tool for aligning texts. I also like the fact that I had choices for signatures.

Accidental annual subscription I had accidentally signed up for a 1-year subscription and PDFFiller were very very friendly and ended the contract for me after all and refunded my money straight away.... I think any other company would have left me out in the cold and kept my money, because it was obviously my mistake with the forgotten cancellation... really a big thank you and also for the fact that the support took care of it so quickly. I have never experienced anything like this before.Thanks a lot again
