Can your signature be anything?

Usually, a signature is simply someone's name written in a stylized fashion. However, that is not really necessary. The signature can be made by anything that marks the paper.

What does print signature mean?

This was a great tool to use as I have suffered a horrible arm injury which made it very difficult to hand write. Your program was a life savior as I had numerous pages of medical documents to file.

Excellent, user friendly software after you familiarize and master the features. The free trial is a plus as well because I will continue to use the software through subscription.

This was just new to me so it has taken me a lot of time to navigate around to do what I needed to do. I'm sure with some use and training it will be very easy to use. I have accomplished filling in the form but I'm trying to see how to get the new file name to appear as a download on my computer, so this is what I'm working on now.

What do you like best? It is much easier to use than Adobe Acrobat. Much more intuitive functions and file management. It has saved me a ton of time with the cloud storage of documents. I have used effectively for construction related documents. What do you dislike? Very rarely I have needed to use another platform because some municipalities require it but 98% of what I need to do is supported. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Remote completion of forms and extracting text from PDF documents mostly.
