I love this service. It makes my job as a small accounting business owner very easy to navigate with access to all necessary forms in one convenient place

I was desperately trying to edit a pdf copy of the P&S and we could not convert it to a Word document. Finding your website where I could make edits to the form, made my life a whole lot easier. However, I work for a law firm and we normally do not have to do these types of documents. So I am afraid I will have to cancel once the document is finalized. At least, I will keep your website as a place to go to if there is a future need. Could you please cancel my membership after the 30 days I already paid? Thank you.

Ease of use. I was able to tab over to next box throughout the form. There was no need for the prompt, and I. was unable to disable it. Otherwise, it was quick and easy.

Great tool for PDF mistakes Good experience, I really recommend this for people who need a PDF edit tool It' easy to use, few and useful settings that can really help fix a mistake or even save the document in a different way I couldn't find the go back tool for a minute but it's actually pretty simple and helpful

What do you like best? The ability to alter PDF files (add or subtract information) What do you dislike? The double sign in process takes up valuable time. What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you? As a real estate agent, I can tailor template forms to suit my client's needs.

It works well in that you can fill out the form, but it would be great if you could move the text box once you've started. I was unable to do that and had to start over in some cases because alignment was off.
