Works extremely well
Super easy to figure out
Very intuitive
On the minus side I don't have enough PDFs monthly to justify the cost.
Maybe there could be a 'per page cost' for the infrequent needs.

The questionnaire asks applicant to send proof of income and supporting documents for all expenses. I do not know how to send these and hope I'll hear from someone about how to do this.

Some instructions were rather confusing but customer support helped me to find my forms and get them printed and deleted. Thank you for your assistance.

Just a bit complicated to learn how to use the system for an 'oldie' but I'm sure it would become more familiar with more frequent usage. Thank you for allowing a trial to test the systems functionality.

ONE OF THE BEST PDF FILLER'S IVE USED…
ONE OF THE BEST PDF FILLER'S IVE USED SO FAR. SOMETIMES THE FONT LOCATION/SIZE WILL PRINT DIFFERENT THAN IT APPEARS ON THE SCREEN BUT AN ADJUSTMENT OR TWO WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT.

This program really provides me the opportunity to create the forms and fillable documents that can help speed up my report filling.
I enjoy the different ways to sign and initial different documents that otherwise could not be sent back electronically without several steps. I also have created templates and forms for consistent reports and forms I will be using to help speed up my entries. Thank you I do enjoy the program But I only know a little about it. I wish there was a little more user friendly tutorials.

I won't need this program enough to pay…
I won't need this program enough to pay the monthly fee. If fee was 3 dollars a month I would keep it. Thank you for giving the free trial.
