Kara, The Support Agent
The Support Agent, Kara, that helped me with what I wanted to do was very accommodating and friendly. I had not fully explored the features of this application but I needed to get something rather urgently. Kara was very patient in explaining to me all that I needed to do. I am quite impressed with the Support provided by Kara and by PDFFiller itself.

What do you like best?
PDF filler has allowed me to not only make forms being filled out easier but also allows me to keep them archived on their server so I had don't have to look for them.
What do you dislike?
I think the only downside I would say is the send to sign can be a little confusing. Some of my clients have had issues trying to sign things when I've used this feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The only time I've had issues is when a form wouldn't load to the system. Customer service has always been great helping me out. They usually have the problem resolved quickly

Could make it a little easier to sign…
Could make it a little easier to sign and save documents to your desktop, especially when you need to send signed documdents via email.

Great customer service
This is a great site and if I had a business I would probably use it, but I only needed to sign and fill 2 documents during my 30-day free trail, so the cost of an actual subscription wasn't worth it. I attempted to cancel my subscription on the site but couldn't for some reason. As soon as I asked for a refund, however, it was immediate and customer service could not have been more helpful. So it would have been 5 stars if cancelling the free trial was a little easier. Also, if there was a lower subscription for very light usage I would be interested in that.

PDF Filler makes it very easy to modify and create pdfs from anywhere. I specifically like their simplified process for editing. Their customer worked with me on an issue I was having and I'm satisfied with the result.

I signed up for a trial. I'm so happy to purchase it. I love it and it has made my business processes move much quicker than printing a form, completing, scanning, send it back, and storing a copy. Excellent!

Instructions and Help about Add CheckBox Fields in Forms Online For Free
pdfFiller makes it easy to create and fill out or modify various types of documents while preserving their original layout. This is made possible with the help of pdfFiller’s advanced “Fillable Fields” feature. There are six types of fields that can be added to make the form fillable: text, number, date, signature, image and checkbox.
The Checkbox fillable field feature makes it easier for the owner of the document to add checkboxes and require the recipient to check the applicable options and not miss anything. To add a checkbox field, click the Checkbox icon, then click where you want to place the field.
You can move the field around by clicking and dragging it, resize it by dragging the dots around the edges, and delete the field by clicking the trash can icon. When adding this fillable field you can customize it: Check the box, “Required field” if filling out a certain checkbox is mandatory; Choose checkbox type; Add a note to serve as a hint; Change the Database Field name; Add a group name if necessary.
Add text in order to make this process clearer for users. It will be shown in a navigation note after you save the changes;
By pressing the “Order” button on the right, you can define the order in which all the checkboxes must be filled. Press “Save” to save all your work on fillable fields.

Did you know?
Check boxes allow users to select more than one choice from a group of possible options. The name identifies what option the checkbox represents for the user. The export value indicates whether the user selects an option in response to a question. Each form field has options that are unique to it.
The first option will create text that, when clicked, downloads a Terms of Service document. The second option will show you how to add your terms/disclaimer text directly to the form no download needed, with special text formatting. To get started, you need to either create a new form or edit an existing form.
