I have to make multiple fillable forms and pull in Texas Real Estate transaction forms. I need to know how to utilize this product all the way around.

Minimal experience. Does take the time out of huge forms to fill out - even for my kids' school. $20 a month is a lot for the convenience. I will likely cancel after my 1 month.

I really liked the variable size eraser. I needed to send my bank statement out and I did not feel the party needed to know my balance when they were only looking for a particular debit.

Best way to keep organized Overall, it can really make your life easier and more organized, highly recommended! This is such a great tool for keeping track of your pdf flies while categorizing them to fit your preferences. As a student, I've used this for many different reasons and have always found it extremely convenient for filing and organizing my files. From school assignments to the official paper work, it provides a user friendly platform for easy usage and proper description. Must have for the student to the average daily worker! It can be a little tricky to figure out how it functions properly at first, but their are some good tutorials out there that I highly recommend, such google them. Also, it doesn't really have a customer support system, which is a down side.

PDF Very excellent filler app. Nice that you can find form online and automatically fill it out. Doesn't let you use it very long before it tried to make me pay for it

Extremely Useful, Slightly Non-Intuitive Love the program/service/software and all its online functions, including the US Legal Forms integration for documents like wills and trusts. But it is a little clunky/non-intuitive in terms of user experience and interaction–be prepared to spend time clicking around to find not only your own documents, but also the service's libraries. Looking forward to integrating with third-party/external cloud storage.

Simple, no BS Simple, fast, easy. No BS like so many other "free" pdf add-ons. No issues upload, editing, or resaving any of my content. No changes in the PDF while getting in or upload.

So far this program is a game changer So far this program is a game changer. I wish it was cheaper (a discount for teachers on a year subscription would be wonderful!) but I like what I am seeing so far ;)

I think their customer service is excellent and very responsive. I was intimidated by the website but that is a reflection on my limited tolerance to "figure it out". ** ****** Pittsburgh, PA
