Still getting used the program but like it a lot!
Still getting used the program but like it a lot! I love it -- it helped me fill in some VA medical forms and made them look very professional, plus I could go back and edit as needed. It also allows me to save, print, and email. There are many other features too!

I was filling out a stubby pencil application, and thought there has to be a better way. Now I'm happily dragging and dropping scanned files into PDF filler and like magic Ii have an automated workable document, it's fantastic.
