I guess I'll have to buy the costly ADOBE ACROBAT PRO software in order to be able to fill out these forms.
I wrote to the developer, SMILE, and joined the British pdfs.
I hope SMILE will reimburse me as they promise on their website, because I lost a whole lot of time trying to get their software to work plus paid 119.95 USD.
Very disappointing !

- move, delete, add, combine pages
- annotate and crop pages
- sign and fill out forms
If there are some features that I am missing, I would like to know. PDFpen, even with the MacUpdate Promo, is thus a poor value at $50-$99.

Is they program a good replacement for Acrobat? I mainly acquire (via scanner usually) and modify, print, etc PDF's. Like most most of my work is converted to PDF before sending it to clients. So is this a good replacement or should I keep the aging Acrobat along with the Adobe bloat? Please only answer if you have used or are also using Acrobat and have meaningful feedback. Thanks

This is on a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro and on an Intel 2.66 GHz C2D iMac both running the Swiss French Version of Mac OS X 10.6.8 (testing with Lion not completed, but up to now, nothing problematic).
On the Mac Pro I still have an older Version of Acrobat Professional (V. 8.0.0 from 2006). And guess what ? I had to use it very seldom, in 1-2% of situations overall (generally on PDF files generated elsewhere and maybe not perfect).
After having spend a lot of money with Adobe's expensive and intrusive software, I'm dropping them: they are not aware of their unfriendly upgrade policy, their high prices for upgrades, their often commonly useless features added to new versions. In matter of prices, they should have a look to the Appstore, and see what is sold there and for which prices. To avoid legitimate anxiousness concerning their future, they probably won't do so. Their strategy is rather to buy good companies like Macromedia, then to drop and block the development of excellent software like FreeHand in order to eliminate a competitor…

After years of just being able to scan to PDF, read, annotate, mark-up, and save as true PDF, I'm now able (in version 7) to convert from Word, actually change the PDFs when I need to, manually redact, and now even send the resulting PDF by email directly from within the program.
Oh, and did I mention that I can also move the toolbars around, depending on what I'm doing at the time? I love how customizable it is, and how I can work with batches of files at once.
I thought you'd want to know.

1/ Customise Toolbar- you can't, tried dragging icons to the toolbar and just won't accept them.
2/Sometimes you can't drag the window to move it. It just won't move.
3/ If starting a New document and you drag to expand the window the toolbar icons also expand and contract ,accordingly.
And that's only after playing with it for a few minutes.
I have had earlier versions, and they to were buggy, it's a shame that the dev doesn't seem terribly interested in making PDFpenPro bug free... maybe I'm being a bit harsh.
Don't get me wrong, the actual 'guts' of PDFpenPro is very good , and I do recommend it but it's just all these unnecessary and incredibly annoying things that can make using it a frustrating experience and unfortunately drag it down.
Come on guy's if you're going to call something 'Pro' do it seriously and this could be five star software.

It appears you are gaming the review system to "punish" the developer for causing your frustration. Not cool.

On other issues problems have been ignored. Not good indication. I contact support before commenting as well.
