It works like a charm Copy, paste and cut text on PDFs in the document editor. " At first I thought they were scammers, but I took the risk and paid for what they asked for. Now I use almost everything they offer. I like that I do not need to download and upload the document back. I would like to print the document immediately after editing.

I signed up originally to utilise this service. Whilst I did not wish to continue with the service (just wouldnt need it again) I did struggle to cancel the service. I sent an email outlining my issue and got the quickest response back and my account fixed and funds returned. Great service if you do require all the time. Easy to use. Highly recommend.
