I'm computer illiterate and even I could easily use this It saved me time and money, thank you :) Easy to use and easy to understand format, it made me feel like a pro lol, and I love the feature of being able to download your copies to your computer in either a PDF or a Word file, personally I dislike PDF files but if you have to send or receive them this is the perfect tool to do it with. Have already recommended it to several friends and family.

I wrote some legal documents using this… I wrote some legal documents using this tool, it was much easier than other PDF editing tools I found. I was able to put my legal case together in an hour after wasting much more than that on other editing tools. Excellent experience, terrific results.
Robert Mashburn
What do you like best? Super easy to navigate. I am a custom cabinetmaker, and I use this to markup blueprints all the time. What do you dislike? Really no downside. I do find it takes a long time to merge docs, but that's really no big deal. What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you? E signing docs. Editing PDF's that were sent to me on my computer without having to scan the doc is amazing

Dont have a printer but can have the forms ready for when i find 1 Was in a tight spot with not having a printer and such. the 1 month free trial with everthing I'm having to deal with right now has help make it slightly easier. I can get everything filled out and have it ready for a printer when I'm able to reach it! Thank you it helped a bunch. all I had to do was google the forms n a link to the form n this website popped up and was able to start filling it out right away. thank you again!
Charity Mcfatridge-Stroope
Excellent Worked as expected. When I lost the connection to Wi-Fi dining the filling out of a lengthy form, all of my work was automatically saved to the point connection was disrupted. Whew!
Dennis Adams
It is a bit frustrating to learn how to send it to my computer to be accessed and modified as needed. Right now it serves me as a trial, but I wouldn't pay for this.
