With the exception of the scam you have going to get people to sign up for your service... (i.e., On a holiday I came into my office to get work done quickly so I could then spend time with my family. I was soo pleased with your service as it let me upload a document and seamlessly edit it for 2 hours and the peace of mind that everything was working properly as your program continually provided feedback saying that 'all changes have been saved'. Then when I finally finished, after triple checking my work and feeling thrilled that I could go celebrate the holiday and be with my family, I selected the big bright button that says, Done!. And only THEN, after 2 hours of work, did you tell me, there is an error and I need to sign up for your program. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I was so excited to tell other people about your program and how well it works. After being scammed, ripped off in terms of money and precious time, I won't be telling anyone about your service. If you prefer to keep me as a happy customer, perhaps you will find a way to make up for this inconvenience (e.g., give me a discounted membership, upgrade my membership, some other kind gesture?) and correct this misunderstanding that you are covertly enticing people to use your program with an inconsiderate scam. I'd love if you followed up with me about this survey. Thank you. Sarah

What do you like best?
The program is user friendly and helps me with the essential tools I need to fill in and change my PDF files. I use this on a daily basis for work and works very well with other programs I use.
What do you dislike?
The font match is the only downside of the program i face especial when I have to fill in words and characters onto the document. It takes time for to match the font that is similar to the original font. Collating pages in a certain order is difficult for me but I decided not to use this feature.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I am facing no problems using the program. The main benefit I use this program is the editing of the documents revived for out business to use for our needs.

The First Name is also your given name, the name given to you by your parents at birth. The Initial is normally used for the middle names, and you write them as initials rather than the actual name. The Last Name is also your surname or family name, the name of your clan or affiliated family.
Your first name is an individual name that is given to you by your parents, and for that reason is often referred to as a given name. Your last name is a surname, usually but not necessarily the same surname as your father. Your parents may also give you a middle name.
noun. Your initial means the first letter of your name. An example of initial is the letter “M" when your name is Molly.
Traditionally, the first letters of their first, last and middle name are used, in that order. For couples, if they share their last name, the last name remains in the middle with the initials of their first names on the left and right side.
As indicated earlier, monograms for one person, whether they're married or not, use the first letters of their first, middle and last name. If you are following the traditional initial order, the last name initial will be the largest and in the center, with the first and middle name on the left and right.
The First Name is also your given name, the name given to you by your parents at birth. The Initial is normally used for the middle names, and you write them as initials rather than the actual name. The Last Name is also your surname or family name, the name of your clan or affiliated family.
initial. The first letter of your name is your initial. Initial is something that occurs first or at the beginning. If someone asks you to initial a form, they're asking you to sign by writing your initials on it. If your name is Anna Instant, you would write I.I., and you'd probably write it really quick!
a. The first letter of a proper name. b. initials The first letter of each word of a person's full name considered as a unit: stationery monogrammed with her initials. The first letter of a word. A large, often highly decorated letter set at the beginning of a chapter, verse, or paragraph.
If all the letters are the same size (also known as block), initials are ordered like your name: first, middle and last. If the monogram features a larger center initial, the ordering is always first name, last name, and middle name.
initials in a name When a person uses two initials and a last name, a space should be inserted between the initials. A space also should be inserted between the last initial and the last name. But, no space between two-letter abbreviations (i.e., U.S., P.O.).
For an individual with a hyphenated last name, begin with the first name initial, followed by the two last name initials, and end with the middle name initial. The two last name initials (center) will be larger.
If someone initials an official document, they write their initials on it, for example to show that they have seen it or that they accept or agree with it.
Placing of initials on each page of a document or an agreement means placing of brief identification mark of yourself conveying thereby that the said person has read each of the said pages and further this prevents from adding pages later on after the document has been legally executed.
An initial is the first letter of a given name, therefore yes, you are correct in your assumption that you have to put the first letter of your first name.
Use initials in a personal name only if the name is commonly written that way. See Wikipedia: Manual of Style/Biographies for when to use full names and other formats. An initial is followed by a full point (period) and a space (e.g. J. R. R.
