What do you like best?
The hosted forms and e-signatures are an awesome add-on
What do you dislike?
Not a big deal if you're not a developer, but the price of using their API is kind of ridiculous! $149 a month, seriously? Why don't don't you offer a reasonable smaller plan developers trying to accomplish minor things.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it possible in Zapier to send contracts for signing to Send Now, looks more legitimate to clients in my opinion for signing.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Helps me get contracts signed much quicker

PDFfiller is great, but other free options are just as good I love the ease of use. I have to fill out a ton of PDF files and it really made my life easier. I don't like that it costs money. I'd rather deal with ads then pay. There are plenty of other options out there that are free and just as easy to use.

AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE - JED I have been conversing with the support agent called Jed, and he has made my vision of this company very clear. Supportive, constructive and quick with the aim to please. He has dealt with my query in such a fast and efficient way that is was delightful to receive a response from him. I just want to thank Jed for the amazing customer service received by him and I surely hope his company sees this and praises him. @PDFFILLER

Great customer service I signed up for a subscription when I really only needed to use it for one day. I canceled the subscription but it must not have gone through because I was later charged after a month. I canceled again and contacted customer service. They said the first cancellation must not have gone through but then refunded my money. That is why I will definitely use them again in the future.

What do you like best? That it looks professional, it is easy to use, and there are so many common templates to use which are always necessary, especially for a small business owner. What do you dislike? That it is always such a process to sign in if I am not at my home computer. What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you? It allows me to complete my forms needed in a timely manner and saving time for me is ALWAYS beneficial. I am more productive. Title for your review: Excellent site for completing and sending important professional looking documents.

It served my purposes It served my purposes. There were a few instances where it would not properly let me check a box. Also, inputting dates, did not always work as expected. I was not always able to manually type in a date. It forced me to use the calendar. Sometimes. It's a good tool.

PDFiller... Where have you been all my life ? User friendly. Check! Quality of software for your buck. Check! Customer service that actual cares. Check! Seriously. Look no further. PDFiller is the best thing I have ever stumbled upon! This product is SO easy to use! I struggled with other software for my needs of filling in PDF forms. I stumbled across PDFiller one day while on a quest for software in order to do so. I looked NO further and started with a free trial. I instantly paid for the subscription no questions asked. I had found the program for me! If you have any conerns or questions the customer service is top notch and very helpful. Everything is labled for ease of use. I use PDFiller EVERYDAY! Buy the subscription .... you will thank me later. Con: I cant draw lines on surveys with ease! That is something that I wish I was able to do. There are options to draw but no straight edge lines. That is really the only con that I have.
