Am new to PDFfiller so here are some initial comments: 1. an "undo" button would be nice 2. when sharing a document and adding comments/instructions, it would be helpful to have the option to pull up the document to be shared for reference.

So far printing doesn't work when printing directly from filled in form. I need to save it to my desktop and open in my pdf application and print from there.
