Great Product!
So far, my experience with this product has been great! I have only used the PDF editing features and not played with the APIs. The navigation is friendly and quick, and tools are simple and easy enough to figure out. The page loading time was a little slow in my case- editing a 10 page PDF document, but it was sufficient.

The application software is a great tool. But, when I search for another fillable document of the same, it does not allow me to pull up a clean form fillable document, for example local tax forms. Thank you.

Did you know?
Problem: Pasting text with C-y typically inherits a lot of the new lines that PDF text tends to carry, requiring me to fix the text manually. Solution: M-q, fill-column, does well to reformat the text I yank from PDFs into paragraphs of length determined by Emacs'. Younger's answer below clarified my problem.
