I HAD A 48 PAGE FORM TO COMPLETED FOR JOB. HAVING PDF FILLER MADE THIS TASK A PIECE OF CAKE. AND I CAN TURN IN A NEAT COMPLETED FORM. WHICH IS IMPRESSIVE.
Easy method. I have been filling out MER longhand for years. Glad I made the mistake clicking on your sight. Would have copied form and filled out by hand.
It was a little frustrating for me figuring out how to use the program. This should improve with use and guidance. It would have been helpful if I had first down loaded the "How To Guide". Thanks for a great program.
Worth the money
I've been subscribing to this service for several years! I love it! It's nice to be able to start on my laptop or phone and pick up where I left off on the other device. The download notification feature is nice because it ensures the person got your email and actually downloaded the file. Will maintain my subscription for the immediate future.
