I am only done with one of two multi paged forms.I was very thankful to be able to fill out some very long forms with a computer rather than free hand.

Great tool in a pinch!
The google chrome extension worked really well since you can't just click on something in drive and easily open it - and I've had issues with Adobe for some time. This software did what I needed it to do multiple times.
This is typically slow to open, and saving & retrieving files is a bit clunky.
