A-PDF Filler Does the Job
By

We at Lifetime Upgrades downloaded and installed A-PDF Filler version 1.8 on a Windows 7 64-bit operating system using the developer's default settings and installation proceeded perfectly. We tested the demo version and found the interface very familiar as with all of A-PDF's products.
Upon the first use of this software, we were recommended to install GhostScript and were taken to a download page in which that install went perfectly as well. To begin, we added the demo PDF file that came with the installation, consisting of 5 pages. The load time was almost immediate. The second objective was to see how this software would handle adding another PDF to this same project and it was perfect. After clearing this project, we decided to put the software to the test and loaded a 299 page document, even though it took about 30 seconds to load, it was perfectly presented. The next step step was to add an image file and we decided to load a 10 megabyte photo. A-PDF Filler handled it perfectly. Great job on stability.
We then took a look at its options and we were somewhat pleased. There could be some more options included but there was enough to take our documents and sufficiently fill them. Some of the options included: Font text placement with simple text editor effects, adding text within a box or circle, adding highlighting to text, arrow pointer, and rotate, crop, align, and control density levels.
There are three features we hope to be added.
1. The ability to adjust the opacity levels.
2. Balloon type fillers.
3. Grid option to ensure text filler forms are in alignment.
Because the customer support is great, we feel this could be a great addition for your PDFs.
For now, though, this software is recommended for the simple to use features, stability, easy interface, usability, and lifetime upgrades.
