This has been a lifesaver!!! I have been able to download all the forms that I have needed and PDF filler has worked with every single one of them. I really cannot give it another praise!

PDF Filler ease of completing the form - that makes it look much more professional than a hand written form. I like the ease of being able to put all my information in on any form. The software easily moves you from one field to the next to populate. Everything looks much more professional than a handwritten form. I don't like the fact that I cannot save my form. I can print it but it saves as a blank form. Maybe I am doing something wrong, since I just started using it, but it did not save what I put in.

Only ever used Adobe in the past. Found this affordable option. It is fantastic. User friendly and effective app. I applied for a rental with a heap of forms to fill out and now our family are living in it. I accidentally signed the 1year subscription. Advised that I only wanted to use it during the trial period for a purpose and happy to pay for one month. They communication was quick and on point. They summarised and actioned exactly what I requested. Only charged me $30 for the month and cancelled my future subscription. I would happily use this again. Thank you.

Easy addition This product has been very helpful for my needs. I like the ease of searching for a form, in my case an insurance form, and then filling in. The program makes it easy to edit boxes and save forms. The software is a little slow... there is a significant lag time opening each document, as well as saving and printing.

It really helps being Paper Less It really helps being Paper Less. I don't need to travel to me nearest FedEx to Print job applications and drop them off at the actual location. I can just download the PDF and fill it out to send right back .
