great except when i want to email something sometimes the other party can't view it as a pdf. i dont get why. I want an option to save my new document in my own hard drive but can't figure out how to other than emailing it to myself. add that option or help me find it.

It was easy enough to use the first time I tried. I was able to fill out my 1099's within a couple hours and file them with the IRS. It was so simple! I appreciate your service.

Best In pdf LOVE it! Everything thing in this app is easily navigated, you are able to save documents to revise later. A big pro for me is when you send a PDF, say as soon as you hit send, you are like "oh my goodness I forget a important part" You can go into that sent email and revise or add on. As long as the recipient has not opened it yet. Im not fond of the code to open the PDF you have sent, expires for them. I'm still rather new to this so I plan on leaving another review once I figure out ALL the kinks of the app

Became a notary and I love it! Very easy to use! Has all the tools necessary to get the job done. Not just for notary, even can be used for personal use as well. Amazing!

A good program (and nice people) A good program, a bit too comprehensive for me (in some ways), and a few (to me) important features were missing. After my trial period, I was accidentally invoiced for a full year, the support department solved that nicely.
