I use PDFfiller on an iMac which does not have Flash installed. The main problem I have is that some of the text I deleted in a PDF file using PDFfiller appears to remain in the file. After I save the file, exit PDFfiller, and reopen the file with PDFFiller, the text I deleted was actually deleted and no longer in the file. So these steps serve as my workaround to this bug in PDFFiller on computers without Flash. I greatly appreciate the PDFfiller Help Team explains the reasons why the bug remains in the current version of PDFfiller, transitting from requiring Flash to not requiring it. Furthermore, as a software engineer myself, I fully accept the reasons for this bug to remain in the current, transitional version of PDFFiller. Thank you very much, the PDFfiller team. Wan Chan

What do you like best? - Supports multiple document formats (images, multitude of text data interchange) - Flexibility of drag and drop controls (date, text, etc) - Ease of merging and detaching individual pages / coalesced documents What do you dislike? "Save" to desktop is usually 2 clicks. There could be a 1 click implementation. What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you? - Huge improvement from Adobe Acrobat to complete forms - Templates are easy to build - Data integration across platforms is easily possible - Easy to send out for signature capture

so far what ive done with the PDFFILLER so far has been complicated rather its been simplistic in a professional manner. By choosing simplistic is meant as negativity rather the layout is made up for every skill level accomplish individual task. with that said give it a try Im confident it will meet ones expectations!!!
