Just started using the program today. Easy so far. A little problem with the aligment of fields. It would have been great to use the "tab" key to toggle between fields.

Fan Bloody Tastic on my CHROMEBOOK, nearly real time and it would be 5 stars. Realtime not yet available in this part of Australia. PERFECT fit for 100% cloud and paperless. Love it, just re thinking it and it is now totally 5 stars. Thanks :)

Its a real good software, I think that people really can used it, maybe there should be a program that pay by used not a regular monthly charges. I am a every six month user.

Provided files that otherwise would require me to physically write information in, this can be seen unprofessional to some businesses. Worth every penny

Experience was OK. Site is not clear on how to change type size and document size when filling in form. Also don't appreciate having to use PDFfiler and pay for a subscription just to save my document and print a copy. It contradicts your advertising for a Free service.

The site is a bit slow, and often will freeze during filling. Otherwise it is well worth the $72.00 I paid although it was supposed to be a free trial for 30 days.

So far, it has provided me easy to create forms from preexisting medical history / investigational files. No longer need to crack your head redoing new form from the original pdf. And patients seem to love getting involved in the whole procedure. Managed to save tonnes of A4 pape

A must have!! This is a must have for anyone that uses PDF's alot. It can save you a ton of time. This software is awesome, I love that you can take any PDF and alter it. It is easy to use and comes in handy. I wish this software was more set up like Word, as in the features and where things are located. Some of the features are hard to find.

After looking for alternatives to Adobe Acrobat, it seems that PdfFiller is the best offer in the market. It covers most pdf tasks and the ability to access your pdf online is a huge plus. In addition, mobile and desktop apps available allows extra flexibility.
