I've only done two documents, but so far I think it is a swell program! I have one more trustee that I'd like to add, will that cost more? We use the program for a charitable trust and we are unpaid. Thanks a lot, no matter what the answer is! I really like the program. MP

interesting...I am a sponsor for a nonprofit addiction recovery program and this would help me lead my sponsees through their step work and writing assignments.

What do you like best? What I like best is that I can upload my documents. I then edit them as needed. I can print, save, and fax all from within the application. The system is user-friendly and easy to navigate. What do you dislike? I cannot pinpoint one thing that I dislike. I use this application regularly. It fits all my day-to-day needs, whether that is business or personal. The fee for business users could have a certain percentage off. What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you? There is a lot of signing documents in the business I work in. With this application, instead of printing the paper, singing it, scanning it back into the computer, then exporting it where it needs to go. I can sign via text and, from there, can ship where it needs to go.

The card reading company kept declining… The card reading company kept declining every card I had even though they were all in good standing. Customer Service (online chat) tried several remedies. Still did not work. I needed to print the document I completed. Customer Service gave me a one time free print so I was not in a bind and will try again tomorrow from different computer to actually purchase the service!!Thank you!!

Good support answer I had an issue with the automatic subscription after the30-day trial period. The support took into account my request very promptly and solved the issue.

What do you like best? Easily convert PDFs to word and rotate pages withing an improperly scanned PDF What do you dislike? The text writing font options are few and when the writing box dissapears the text changes size and font that what it was displayed. Recommendations to others considering the product: More font options and ability to match font of the original document. When editing in a document your software changes the size and font of the edited text. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Filling out forms and signing documents.
