extremely convenient and fairly easy to use, but i need to find time to sit down and learn more features other than just filling out forms and signing them. I think the vvalue of a yearly subscription is very good.

We no longer had use for product as we… We no longer had use for product as we are a small Not for Profit Organisation and they canceled our subscription that was automatically renewed and refunded the $'a that was charged.

THE BEST SUPPORT TEAM I'VE EVER FOUND It is honestly the best and most complete pdf program with all the features. It's fast, intuitive, and their support team is absolutely prompt and efficient. I thought I had to wait like with other programs and help on the Internet, but nothing could be further from the truth: in less than two hours my problem is solved. I am very happy with them.

best customer service I've experienced Software works good, had no problem at all. The customer service was top notch. They helped resolve my account problems within the first hour I sent out the form. Polite and efficient. The excellent service provided was the last and fith star.

It's alright I used it to complete a PDF, the only one that let me do it. I could complete a PDF I needed but that was for a game of Dungeons and Dragons that was done online as recreation with fellow students. I just tried the free trial and those things were kind of lacking but that's to be expected, nothing else though.
