It is a PDF editor very easy to use and very useful! It has helped me a lot to edit PDFs and very easily, when before it was impossible. You can upload a document from your computer, but also from Dropbox, Box and OneDrive. With any option, you can edit by adding images, signatures, text boxes and brands. As a disadvantage, the file load is a bit slower than other editors. however, it provides great editions.

My document looked perfect when opening it with a browser after editing it, but there were some artifacts in the transparent background of the signatures when reading it on Adobe Reader (alpha channel problems, I believe). Maybe it was a problem on my end, I don't know.

I am having some difficulties with the…formatting and printing I am having some difficulties with the form printing properly. The formatting does not transfer for printing to landscape and thus loses portions of text contained within the form.
