difficult to sign and other parties not knowing the software, I feel I need to be cautious. Too costly for a novice one time user. Overall, it has been helpful. thanks!

Was looking for a fast PDF fillable form. I found it here. Even has e-sign which really makes me look professional. Always wanted to try it and now I'm glad I did.

It works like a charm Copy, paste and cut text on PDFs in the document editor. " At first I thought they were scammers, but I took the risk and paid for what they asked for. Now I use almost everything they offer. I like that I do not need to download and upload the document back. I would like to print the document immediately after editing. Now I need to save it first and then I can print the document

Absolutely worth it! Wonderful program. Slight learning curve, but then it's off to the races. Worth it if you are editing PDF's on the daily. Great save, download and share options all at once. Thank you for a great program!!

She was incredible she Should be the example on how to train your customer service representatives and she needs a raise maybe even a new house, definitely 🎂 at the leAst She was incredible she should be given a raise, a brand new house, a new puppy, and definitely a homemade cake. you should use her to train for your customer service experience there’s not very many people that are helpful as she has been and actually help the problem without getting an attitude and saying it’s your fault.

Reasonable but not fantastic Pretty decent, I'm not sure it's the best PDF software available, but it's not bad and can complete most tasks you'd ask of it. The software works for the most part well and allows the signing and creation of forms, handy for mild administrative use. Support seems limited to live chat only, which is a bit of pain if something goes wrong. It could also do with a mobile app which I don't believe there is currently.
