See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
I had a problem printing a draft of a form. "Blocked plug-in". Had a chat with Paul on the site, and followed his suggestions for a fix. Then was able to print the form. I am a new user and have yet to make changes to the form and print it. Hoping for the best with that. Thanks, Verne

Very good. Easy to use. Perfect "side dish" for users who don't need full PDF Writer needs. Has just been saving me hours in handwriting out form information

Following my previous comment, I found the tax forms I was working on, but they were titled by the Form, not saved documents. Taking me well over an hour due to the labeling. Need a Saved Documents Option to simplify it.
