Best online program I have ever used. Finally I can fill out everything I need to and save it all conveniently where I can easily access it anywhere. Except on military computers, because your site is blocked.

I love the convenience of sending a fax from anywhere I have a wifi connection. The ease of filling PDF documents is great compared with other programs.

What do you like best?
The best features are (1) the ability to easily import and that it converts with accuracy and (2) the ability to manipulate doc - more specifically merge, edit, copy, etc.
What do you dislike?
The only feature that does not seem intuitive at times is the folder structure and how the files are organized. When editing a doc it will always move a doc to the top because it is the most recently viewed or edited doc - but this sometimes makes it confusing. Similar to Outlook, it would be nice to have easier drag and drop feature for organizing the docs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a quick out of the box product, overall very intuitive and easy to use.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Able to import and edit docs as well as having them signed online.

PDFfiller Software Great software to update, fill, and sign PDF documents. User friendly, simple to use, easy way to make quick updates/changes to a PDF document, allows for PDF signatures to be completed, easy to make a document fillable, easy to share documents as needed. Software can lag with larger documents, tutorials are beneficial when first learning advanced features.

Great online chat support! Support when I've needed it has been great which I can rarely say about most companies these days. While the program tends to be a little cumbersome it works for what I need it to. When I have issues the online chat support has been great an very little wait to get to someone. John resolved my issue over the weekend and Kara fixed the one I had this morning - I really appreciate both their help!
