PDFfiller.com has been the most reliable and simple piece of software I have used for this type of work in a long time. Adobe has made things quite expensive and your product has been the lifesaver many times. Simple to use, end product is of high quality. That is what I was looking for and found it on PDFfiller.

The App is clunky and not easy to use and annoyed that when trying to combine different documents have to upgrade to the next level. So overall good product on laptop, poor app and disappointing capabilities v price.
