EASY TO USE, TRULY ALLOWS ONE TO EDIT PDFS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE FONTS AND THE ABILITY TO SET THE FONT SIZE MANUALLY, AND SMALLER THAN SIZE 8. OTHER THAN THAT, GREAT, USEFUL APP.
2017-04-19
It can be great, but it's a little buggy at times. The signature feature often crashes the signer's device, whether mobile or desktop, and the API integration with Zapier is very finicky as well.
2018-05-12
All good. However it would be nice to be able to move the type up and down when placed on the page rather than have to keep placing the type symbol in a spot where you think it will fit on the line.

Easy to use
It has made life much easier for my clients to receive what they need in a more timely manner
Easy to upload specific documents for editing.
When a field needs to be erased, the program always resets to add text. You have to re-select the erase button after each erased field.

Video instructions on how to Copy and Paste Text in PDF on Microsoft Edge
you can copy content from a web page without losing any formatting any links the feature which is called smart copy is now available in the preview version the canary version of the edge browser and i'll be showing you how you can download this and use the great new feature that will let you copy content from a web page into an email into a word document or other type of document and keep the same rich formatting as applied on the web page i'll be giving you an example of using this with wikipedia copying the table and copying different types of content from that page but this works with practically any website so to use the feature you first need to have edge canary installed and you can do this by simply going to the edge inside a website when here click download under the canary channel and and open the browser if you have edge canary installed go to the menu button at the top go to settings go to about microsoft edge and make sure the version is up to date and on the latest build now you need to go to a webpage where you want to copy some content from i'm going to use wikipedia in this example but you can use practically any blog website or any website at all and you need to right click and choose select web objects now you can click and drag and you'll notice the objects you drag over will be highlighted you can also drag this selection square further out or downwards or upwards to select more contents and then choose copy another way of doing this if you find that the select web object shortcut doesn't work is to use keyboard shortcut command or control shift x this will launch this selection tool and you can do exactly the same motion again and go into the word processor program or the website of your choice where you'd like to paste the content and simply press command or control v to paste it you'll notice that the formatting stays very similar to how it was in the actual website you may need to add a few blank lines in to separate the text but overall the font stays the same the links are the same and the layout of tables are also the same smart copy isn't actually working properly at the moment it's very buggy on some websites such as with tables like this so if you find it doesn't work you'll need to wait for future versions of edge to be released that improve on this feature there's a reason why it's not actually in the stable build of the browser yet it's because it's not completely finalized and it's still quite buggy so if you have any problems one problem may be that you can't select it in the right click menu here then do remember you are on a beta build that hasn't been officially released to everybody on the stable version just yet i'm hoping that this feature gets improvement so it can even copy the exact font and the exact layout of certain elements such as boxes and exact layouts of tables but this does seem to be a bug as microsoft does show an example of you copying a table in their introduction of smart copy let me know...
