LIKED THE ABILITY TO SAVE AND PRINT BUT IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIAL AND ERROR EXPERIENCES TO FIGURE OUT THE PROCESS. SOMEONE WITH VERY LITTLE COMPUTER EXPERIENCE WOULD FIND THIS FRUSTRATING

Excellent application, very smart it detects data entry fields and allows to add text to PDF document. So far I'm very satisfied with this application.

I have had trouble finding documents and sending them in the past, it seems as though this site is easier to use today. I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world so I am learning sometimes the hard way!
Definitely easier yesterday: to find documents to fill out and send. Makes billing a breeze!

Satisfied customer
I had my free trial with the company but found that it was not for me. The payment had been taken out of my account. I contacted the company and with in minutes I had a reply and my money was refunded to me. I am retired and do not use my computer to its full extent. If this experience is anything to go by then I am sure everyone will be satisfied with the company. Thanks to everyone for their help.

kara was great
kara was great. I am an older computer geek who never got into such things as screenshots. Not only did kara patiently deal with my problem but she also helped me with her request of a screen shot. i have 2nd and 3rd level support at ibm on global WAN's so i have an appreciation for what Kara did for me. Please give her kudo's and preferably a raise for dealing with an older computer geek
