    Date: Sep 29 2021
    Summary

    I think this is a great product over others I have used, including foxit and adobe and just have to find time to figure how to make this most of the features.

    Positive

    I have been preparing documents for a tribunal and downloaded this because what I had been using was inadequate. The product had everything I needed including being able to add and remove pages. What I have used, I have been impressed with.

    Negative

    What I think would be good is a quick reference help for users like me who don't always have time to learn how everything works. I noticed that when I added page numbers the box stayed black and I couldn't figure out how to make them colourless.

    Summary

    When I chatted with Molly, she was very helpful in answering my questions, checking my account, telling me that I was paying for 2 licenses which it not shown in the account profile or in the renewal details.
    She got it straightened out and even issued me a refund.

    Positive

    I like that you can password protect the documents.
    It converts pretty quickly.
    After figuring out the "merge" feature it made it easier.

    Negative

    Has a tendency to freeze and needs to be closed.
    Constantly asking to be upgraded.
    No link to update software at renewal.
    Different names for the same product so you don't know what you end up with.

    The Good The Bad and the Ugly

    Updated: Dec 01 2021
    Summary

    The tech person was just great solved all my issues and was very courteous. The tech was interested in helping me and I appreciated it.

    Positive

    The program that says it all. All I want is for the app to just work and this just works and it works well.

    Negative

    The website was difficult for me ....but I am 79 years old. My first computer was a Radio Shack Trash 80 and lived with DOS and Windows. We thought 9600 baud was fast (that's a joke) and Pentium chips were the end all (that is a joke also). But what do I know, it probably works well for those under 12.
    But for us vintage people who miss the coffee cup holder (the CD disk drive) ......well what can I say!!!!!
