It was confusing at first but once I worked out my own bugs it worked very well. Filling out multi formatted forms are cumbersome in changing the markings needed.

Saved me a great deal of stress trying to return a document for business...Thank you! I just mentioned to my wife today how many headaches have been averted by using this system compared to the frustration I had previously.

Pretty easy to figure out - the videos are helpful. I missed the Add Fillable Fields part and I am trying to figure that out. Support Chat was helpful. This is my first attempt to use Send to Sign

Twice a year I need to turn a pdf form into a fillable form. I don't need a subscription for such a minimal need. I wish there was truly a free way to do this without creating a trial subscription.
