To Whom It May Concern:
I love your service. I am trying to find work at with a university, and because of your service I am able to apply to campuses without fully online applications quickly by editing my initial application, rather than having to rewrite it every single time.
Thanks a million!
Yours,

Features & functionality
I use it a lot when responding to discovery requests
The variety of features & functionality for PDF's
Not easy to navigate website, site not visually appealing

I use this software daily to mainly merge other documents into one PDF. It's very user friendly.
time management and expedition of documents requiring signatures!
Merge feature and being able to delete pages that I don't need. I like that I can save my agency's details on the different forms I use; rather than retyping each time.
It has locked up a couple of times but once I get out and go back in it's fine. It hasn't happened in the last year so they may have done some updates to the software.

I don't usually leave reviews...Customer service is A+
I don't usually leave reviews, but this product deserves my time.Works very well in filling PDFs. Typing, checking boxes (using the checkmark or "x" feature), filling out tables, etc. Saving and editing again works well, though it isn't entirely intuitive the first time.Customer service was absolutely awesome! I realized, after signing up for a paid subscription, that I no longer needed the service. I cancelled online (or THOUGHT I did), but I must've had a glitch. When I got billed, I called and they issued me a refund no questions asked and zero hassle.
