it is great. I can mark where I need clients to notice or sign. Would be interested to know how the rest of the programming works so I can use more of it.

I like the service just wish the process of saving and/or printing docs wasn't as cumbersome - two or three pop up windows before action is completed and not automatically redirected to doc list.

I liked the clear simple explanations.and the fact that it stops you from clicking on anything until it has explained the basic functions of the key attributes. For some of us who think they can probably figure it out on our own the little speed bump and wake up call save a LOT of time.

I wrote some legal documents using this… I wrote some legal documents using this tool, it was much easier than other PDF editing tools I found. I was able to put my legal case together in an hour after wasting much more than that on other editing tools. Excellent experience, terrific results.

I had to fill an application and I really loved being able to type my thoughts. The other features seem great too, like the circle for multiple choice questions was cool too.

Great free software for editting PDFs Great free software for editting PDFs. Unfortunately, I could not combine files, or extract pages so I had to go back to using adobe for my business

Having better results with the site It is a lifesaver as far as my clients being able to sign consents on the screen and get them back to me. So far, the recipients of my docs have been able to follow the instructions and sign the docs without difficulty
