Changed my small business capabilities I am now able to manipulate documents and complete forms that I need to use on various government websites. This capability changes my small business and, as I bill for my services, gives my clients the absolutely best of what they pay me to accomplish! I can't see any downside to this software. There is nothing I have tried to accomplish that I have not been able to do with this software.

the features are good, but the interfaces are a bit clunky. For example creating document sub folders wasn't as intuitive as other applications. Additionally there are some documents I would like to move to Trash, but once it been sent out for E-sign it appears it can't be trashed, so I had to move them to a folder.

This is a great company This is a great company. They offer excellent customer service. When I need them I won't hesitate to do business with them in the future.

I didn't realize how much use I would… I didn't realize how much use I would make of this program, or the range of functions that it offers. I just got the free-version at first because I needed a digital signature. But now, as an academic, I find I use it all the time to share and to sign documents: now that everything is online and we have limited contact, this has become more important. I can't say that I've mastered or even noticed all the file features this program offers, but almost every time I use it I discover something new. Well worth the money!

This has been a great for filling my forms This has been a great help with the forms I am currently working with. It does sometimes freeze but usually if I close the program and reopen, it works fine.
