It is the best PDF to Word conversion I have ever seen. The resulting Word doc was able to be compared with another PDF conversion, giving me a near perfect comparison. This is what I was after and PDFfillre delivered.

PDFFiller
I like PDFFiller because it's easy to work between my Android phone and my computer. It's also extremely easy to email myself documents, reports, pay stubs whatever so that I can update them, edit them or have others sign off on them.
At times the program lags behind but overall well worth the wait.

Excellent service that helped me sign…
Excellent service that helped me sign papers that I needed for school. They was also helpful in squaring my account away. I was thankful for their patience and care.

Chatted online to cancel and refund $96 that I was charged and I got a pretty friendly guy named Peter! He was sweet and fast! If I needed this particular application again, I would definitely reuse them!!!

Quick sign up, User friendly for beginners and love the functionality!!
What made my experience great is that it was simple and easy to use, I had only used docusign once before and decided to try pdfFiller for some court papers that needed electronically signed immediately. It is super user friendly. Great pricing after the 30 day free trial. But my favorite part is the set up and how many different things you can easily do!!!!
