Just started so not a lot of feedback yet. It would be nice to be able to review who I sent documents for e-signatures too, so that if I can determine whether or not I made a mistake and have to redo the whole document, or if I have to tell the client to look in their spam folder, or what. Thanks!

I can't verify that my completed forms are actually sent to recipients. Programs keeps requesting me to have my e-mail verified but no code is ever sent to my e-mail.

This software is great! It not only makes it easy to add text, but also has a lot of additional functionality such as the ability to create links for others to fill in information on samesaid documents, etc.

Time is Money The document import feature, text alignment tools, and being able to directly type into the document has saved me a lot of time hand-writing statements. This is a good product. Thanks!

What do you like best? Super easy to navigate. I am a custom cabinetmaker, and I use this to markup blueprints all the time. What do you dislike? Really no downside. I do find it takes a long time to merge docs, but that's really no big deal. What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you? E signing docs. Editing PDF's that were sent to me on my computer without having to scan the doc is amazing
