It's not as intuitive as I hoped to use the mobile apps, and it seems there are many steps to doing the main process which led me to purchase PSF filler--uploading and emailing HIPAA related documents that I've photographed. I'm sure there'll be a learning curve, however, so I am still hopeful.
With two helpful and timely chat guidance, I was able to resolve my problems with scanning and uploading photographed documents quickly. I still wish the mobile app allowed me to rename the document so that I wouldn't have to fiddle with it later in the browser app, but am happy with many other features at this point.

PDFfiller is both handy and speedy, having it at my desktop saves so much time. I never had any training so any problems with it would be entirely my own fault: seems a little clogged when done with the project.

For pdfFiller’s FAQs
Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Use an external Hardware Security Module. Tie the encryption to your hardware. Tie the encryption key to your admin login (e.g. encrypt the encryption key with your admin login). Type in the encryption key when you start up, store it in memory. Store the key on a different server.
How do I keep my encryption key safe?
Use an external Hardware Security Module. Tie the encryption to your hardware. Tie the encryption key to your admin login (e.g. encrypt the encryption key with your admin login). Type in the encryption key when you start up, store it in memory. Store the key on a different server.
What happens when encryption key is lost?
Data loss. Occurs if all copies of the decryption key are lost. If you lose the decryption key, you cannot decrypt the associated ciphertext. If the only copies of data are cryptographically erased ciphertext, access to that data is permanently lost.
Where are customer encryption keys stored?
Typically stored in the ~/. Ssh/ directory. The private key might commonly be found in a file called id_rsa, and the public key might be in a file called id_rsa.
How often should encryption keys be changed?
Having said all this, the NIST recommendation for symmetric Data Encryption Keys (Decks) is 2 years or less.
How can I improve my encryption?
Do Not Use Old Encryption Ciphers. Use The Longest Encryption Keys You Can Support. Encrypt in Layers. Store Encryption Keys Securely. Ensure Encryption Implementation Is Done Right. Do Not Ignore External Factors.
What makes a strong encryption?
Strong cryptography is secreted and encrypted communication that is well-protected against cryptographic analysis and decryption to ensure it is readable only to intended parties.
What is weak encryption?
A weak cipher is defined as an encryption/decryption algorithm that uses a key of insufficient length. The larger the key size the stronger the cipher. Weak ciphers are generally known as encryption/ decryption algorithms that use key sizes that are less than 128 bits (i.e., 16 bytes 8 bits in a byte) in length.
