on the form 710 you cannot remove the zeros on page 2. Please correct ... I use this form a lot and it would be nice to have fillable spots vs lining up the curser.

I needed to create a document and sign it in a hurry. I already own Turbo PDF, but, its confusing to use. I did a quick Google search and down loaded Pdf filler and had my doc printed in less than 10 min! It works for me.

I've been very happy with this product! It has helped me tremendously file insurance claims and do work since my husband has been in the hospital since 5/30/20. I did the free trial but will be purchasing it for the year.
