ONLY HAD TO CONTACT SUPPORT ONCE. GREAT FOR ME. I DO WISH THAT YOU COULD FILL AND PRINT W-2 INFOR ABOUT TWO PEOPLE AT A TIME. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE IRS WOULD EXCEPT THE W-3 INFO BUT OH WELL GLAD TO HAVE WHAT I DID GET. THANK YOU

After contacting customer support, I was told that certain web browsers are more compatible than others in completing forms. Once I changed from Mozilla Firefox to Chrome, I was able to complete all fields of the form without problems. But it would have been helpful to publicize this information on your website so that much time was not wasted.

I was in a hurry to get a commercial invoice to a broker, all went well until I tried to email the document. I'm 64 years old, so not the brightest when it comes to computer stuff, but it was really confusing at that point.

So far so good... i've used several different programs and am a quick learner.... can't say that for a lot of people who are not used to new programs.... this is VERY user friendly and I will definitely recommend it!

Web based PDF signing tool I use PDFfiller for signing purchase orders or sending proposals for clients to digitally sign. It's great because users can sign documents in their browser without needing to download anything. PDFfiller's editing tools leave much to the imagination. I don't use the editing features as I can accomplish what I need with other programs.

The price should be mentioned up front. You have to pay at the end because the document is important. I'm sure that is intentional. Its a good program so far. I will let you know the final outcome.

I wrote some legal documents using this… I wrote some legal documents using this tool, it was much easier than other PDF editing tools I found. I was able to put my legal case together in an hour after wasting much more than that on other editing tools. Excellent experience, terrific results.

What do you like best? The ease of use, the verification of signature and the compatibility on all types of documents What do you dislike? The cost...yearly is pricey considering there are programs that you pay more upfront but it’s a one time fee What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Making my documents fillable for my students while teaching remotely
