For people who are not that good in technology like me (you are not to blame), it was a bit difficult to find a website where I could fill important documents to send via internet in a safe manner. After a while, I found your website and once I figured out how to save and send the documents I can say that it is a good website. My recommendation is to make it even easier to access and follow directions for seasoned people like me. Thanks

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.

great customer service - sam great, easy to use, saves us a fortune on an extra phone line for a fax. Great customer service, I always use live chat and get answers and resolution within a few minutes. I have only had to use support 3 times in a year because the program is so user friendly.

Fill in the Blank Love what this has done for making my job so much easier at a very reasonable rate. For my business this was and is the best tool I have for putting together insurance reports. Build or scan in a template and fill in the blanks when you need to send a report out. BAHM! DONE! Probably something I have not spent enough time to figure out yet but as of now each time I fill in a blank template it auto saves it so my original always has to be cleared before new entry.

What do you like best? I love how easy it is to navigate. the User-functionality makes it very easy to use and know how to create new content. What do you dislike? I wish there was a more user friendly version in IOS or Android App Store. Recommendations to others considering the product: There is so much this Program can do. If you have the time, watch videos and contact the support team to ask questions about how to use this effectively. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I have not had many problems because of how easy it is to use. I wish there were more payment options to choose from though.
