It's a good and intuitive product. the only technical glitch is that some of the larger text boxes are shifted over to the right by a fraction of an inch and outside the printable area of most printers.

This is a good app. It could be improved with navigation that's a bit less clunky - more intuitive. I also wish there was a way to fill out forms without having to recenter, re-size, re-font the text so it looks normal in the document.

The software is easy to navigate and user friendly. Not paying the Adobe prices. The software is very intuitive which is reduces time determining and understanding feature sets about the tool. Some features require a different level of membership which cost more and should be included with the basic package.

Perfect for merging multiple JPG images into a compact PDF This app / web page allowed me to easily merge six JPG image files (each 2550x3300 pixels, some included photos) into a single compressed PDF document that was small enough (7MB) to be easily shared as an email attachment. Did exactly the job I wanted it to!
