This app has been a lifesaver. I have recently started a position as an Administrative Assistant and the abilities within this program make my job hassle-free. It makes filling in PDFs and requesting e-signatures as efficient as possible.

Would like to see a better way to organize/save files for easier opening. Would like to see a way to convert files to PDF as well. No need to send a follow-up survey, your system won't allow us to complete it without having a Facebook or Linkedin account...we know our own e-mail address and it won't accept it.

Absolute timesaver Absolute timesaver and easy to use once you are in the form. It's an absolute timesaver when filling in repetitive forms or having to sign and email something for signature. Ease of moving around website is a little tricky sometimes

It really makes billing a lot easier. The program is really user friendly and it saves all your work It makes it so much easier to print of my cms 1500 forms for insurance billing. I like that this software saves your previous work so you can reprint if you make a typo or need to add something to submit again.
