Easy-to-use program once you fiddle with it awhile. Would like ability to edit text also (portions that are inapplicable rather than striking through).

Its great, I am pleased to have this application on my tablet and phone. Need to work out the kinks for the phone. Overall it will do the job! Very appreciative.
2015-07-22
So far, so good. I love the fact that, before I paid--my documents were always saved and not lost. So that later, when I was ready to pay, I didn't have to start over. That was awesome.

Great extension. Only been using for a day. Only thing so far that I find fault with is that text entered on the android version of the app displays on a single line whereas on the Chromebook extension displays correctly
2017-10-17
Really easy to use once you get the hang of it. I am using it frequently, especially on State government forms that I previously would have done by hand before. Thank you.

GREAT structure platform, user friendly have cool tools and variety of options and the great part is online.
A get to much error on conversion files from one format to another. Also having some issues with saving the files to my desktop.

The fill in is with text boxes like in word. That works well.
It worked well. Not as good as a PDF document that already has input fields but much better than printing the PDF document and filling it in by hand,

Only would like a print out instruction…
Only would like a print out instruction sheet. I love being able to create contacts in a few minutes. Make my template and just fill in the info to create a new contract.

Even Adobe editor couldn't help
I needed to change one document and even adobe software couldn't help. The only possible way was to sign up for a free trial. I forgot to end the trial and when I was charged, I contacted the support centre and they return me my money straight away. Very happy with the product and their support service. Would be happy for an option to pay for a single-use, as I'm editing pdf files only a few times per year.
