What do you like best?
It's simple and easy. I can pull forms from the internet, email, my desktop, etc and fill them in for a professional look.
What do you dislike?
The printing process could be laid out a little more simply. It works well; but a little 'clumsy' vs smooth like printing in microsoft products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It an efficient product that makes all documents/applications/etc look professional.
