It made a nice document. The only thing that is challenging is that you have to go line by line instead of having an option to change more than one line.

A great Program Its a good program, but it takes a few minutes to get use to the actual text placement for your fill in. I did not try the signature feature. I will continue to use this program. I'll use it more often as I get use to it.
