I needed to edit a pdf file that was very long with only few corrections so this program was great. It was so easy to use...I especailly like the erase too and then the size too to make the correction look good. nothing.. I liked the entire program. I thought the cost was a little high as I only needed the program for a few weeks and wont be needing it again. So a lower fee for a weekly or monthly use would be good and you may get more users that way too

Great Tool! This is a wonderful tool if you have alot of forms and things that are important and need some adjustment. Prior knowledge with computers needed, but can learn alot and use for many reasons that are very productive/helpful. Worth the $!

You're asking for a favor, and it's not polite to ask on short notice. Admit that upfront and apologize for it, even if you don't feel like it's really your fault. Second, have a good reason for asking so late, and tell it. Not an excuse -- an actual reason.
