This is a great program that is more than just a PDF Filler program. It is great to send files, work on files across a group, and to edit PDFs. Very helpful!

I'm happy with the use of the forms, however it showed a monthy price, so I was suprised when I was charged for the entire year up front. I only needed the product for a couple tax documents.
