5 stars - but I am putting in 4 right now because I need to learn how to print on larger paper which means I have to go through the instructions to figure out how. But I am very pleased so far.

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 :)

I'm learning how to use the program. We need it for online school for our granddaughter
It is a bit complicated. As we learn to print and save and figure out which document it which, it will be easier to use

Dear Trustpilot Team,
Dear Trustpilot Team,
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional experience I had with your platform. I recently had the opportunity to leave a review for a company I worked with, and I must say, using Trustpilot made the entire process seamless and easy.
What impressed me the most was the level of transparency and authenticity that your platform provides. It was evident that the reviews left by other users were legitimate and not fabricated, which gave me confidence in making an informed decision about the company I was researching.
Moreover, I found that the user interface of Trustpilot is very intuitive and user-friendly. The website is well-designed, and the navigation is straightforward, making it effortless for me to leave my review.
Overall, I appreciate the hard work and dedication that your team puts into providing a trustworthy platform for consumers like myself. I look forward to using Trustpilot again in the future and will continue to recommend it to friends and family.
Thank you again for all that you do!
Sincerely,
[Nagus Nagas]

Hands down the best pdf editor period. I was able to white out and edit my document. No other application has given me this ability and it saved me so much time.

So far
So far, so excellent. User experience takes a little getting used to, but a quick google shows you how to do it. And I haven't found anything yet that it wont do. Great tool. Used it for about 40 documents so far. Splicing things together, re-wording and cutting and changing dates. Basically editing everything imaginable in pdf.

What do you like best?
This platform is so easy to use. I usually get very annoyed with pdf files as most of the other websites I have tried have been a complete pain to make the adjustments I need. PDF filler allowed me to easily add the information, download, and save with my personal E-signature with my toddler on my lap ! I am very happy that I found them and will continue to use them for all my conversion needs.
What do you dislike?
I haven't really found anything that I dislike just yet. The monthly subscription is a bit pricy if you won't be using it often enough so maybe they could have pricing for example 4 downloads monthly etc.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I have been able to fill out pdf forms to submit documents online. It saves the time of printing the pdf, filling it out and then scanning.
