great except when i want to email something sometimes the other party can't view it as a pdf. i dont get why. I want an option to save my new document in my own hard drive but can't figure out how to other than emailing it to myself. add that option or help me find it.

I like the program. I did pay for it, so I feel that I should be able to upload pictures to the file. Uploading images should be included in a basic membership. I still like the service.

When filling out 1099-misc form, it would be beneficial for the information on the first page be copied throughout the other copies, as they are the same.

this was very helpful making legal forms, a lot of options to navigate. I would definitely recommend this product to others. The price is more than I would like to pay, so I probably will use temporarily but I'm sure I will return.

Customer service rep was very helpful… Customer service rep was very helpful with a billing issue. He researched my request and provided a prompt resolution. Would definitely use and recommend this service because of their superior customer service.

I reviewed this software for my company… I reviewed this software for my company (we historically use another product) for function and usability. It is significantly more user friendly than the others that do similar functions. What makes this a good decision is the cost and the support. It costs a third of the software we currently use and when I experienced a problem (on the weekend) I had (professional and personal) support online in less than a minute. Very satisfied.

This has by far been the best document application ever I just wish it wasnt so expensive. If it was more of a value I would pay for it monthly. But I love it
