Like that it remembers where I was in filling in the forms. Filling in was a little awkward on the government forms I was working with. Would help to have a built in tracking mechanism to determine progress.

I spent approx $70 for PDF Filler, could not find a page rotate icon when I really needed it, then a screen popped up that I would have to spend $120 per year to have this additional function. I was in the midst of needing to reorient some legal documents so paid the additional money. I find this to be less than fair business practice as when I signed up there was no clear breakdown presented on the functions available for different costs.

I have used a couple of the other apps and I believe that the PDFfiller is the easiest with very self explained instructions. I love the fact that the mobile app is just as user friendly as the app on my computer. Thanks

I love the features of the pdfFiller, however, I gave it a 4 rating because you couldn't precisely place the fillable icon EXACTLY where you wanted, like you can in Canva. I had to go back and correct my Canva templates to accommodate the PRECISE application. (They were circular designs, not traditional checkboxes.) If I had this option, I would have given it 5 stars. However, when I do place my fillable icon in the precise spot on the first "checkbox" it does keep all the other checkboxes in a straight line down the document, and then on the next page it can be re-adjusted again. So far, I am very happy with the pdfFiller and its features. I have plenty more applications to use it with in the future. SO-- I would give the program a 4.5.

So far so good So far so good, I would have given it a 5, if downloading my edited documents weren't hidden behind a paywall, but hey, I get it, it is in our nature to capitalize on things where it is impossible to find a solution, few have the solution, so why give it away for free? But yeah, good software none the less.

What do you like best? pdfFiller is user-friendly. Creating templates and editing forms is a breeze. Blacking out HIPPA information is quick and easy. Customer Service is prompt and courteous. They resolved my issues quickly and efficiently. Our corporate office just opened another account, and everyone loves it. What do you dislike? I don't have any complaints. pdfFiller has everything I need to make my tasks more manageable. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Completing required medical forms is faster and easier than ever before. Blacking out HIPAA information on EOB's has cut our time in half for claim submissions.

PDF Filler is a great tool for me and my business. However, more fonts would be nice rather than the few that are available, around 10 or so. Also, if I can use art as a watermark instead of just script, that would be amazing. Otherwise, PDFFiller gets the job well done.
