PDF is a great product…
PDF is a great product ....unfortunately I have to go through backagent with my real estate career to get paid and it prints all my documents needed. Thank you
Essential software
Being able to fill in pdf's is great! It saves so many steps and looks more professional. Before I would have to print a form, fill it in by hand, scan it back into the computer and then send it on. Now I can fill in necessary information, neatly typed and send it on.
Once in awhile I have a hard time making it do what I want when I am trying to change a document.
