The software in simple & I love it: however the video for how to: tells you what the form is used for; not how your software works. (I think that people already know what the 1099 int is used for)

Adobe should take notes from PDFFILLER I like that it's web based which allows me to use it on any computer without having special software installed. Nothing too bad but sometimes the converter feature would hang when I was converting large documents.

It makes pdf documents manageable !! Everyone has some reason to love it! You have to need it for every day utilization to deserve to buy. You can do anything on a pdf document. Of course the basic features as to sign, insert date and page number. Highlight words, insert marks, cyrcle a word or an item.Insert an image easily. More specific features: eraser tool, text box, drop down menu (for someone to choose from) and verification of the document! All languages are supported. The cost is quite salty.. and the history version is missing. Page scroll down is a bit unconvinient that wastes me time in large documents..

This program is a life saver. Only that I wish I was able to push the numbers over to the side a bit and make them a little bolder. I pray that they don't see the imperfections and I can get my loan approved. Thanks for the help pdffiller.
