Quite respectable, for $2!

| Posted By : Michel R. E. - 11/21/2016 1:15 AM | I bought a slightly older version of Adobe Acrobat (it cost around $100), and it does this easily.
I use Acrobat so much that it was worth paying for (even if I didn't pay much).
Just last week I had to take a PDF form letter someone sent me and added check boxes and boxes to fill information directly into the PDF rather than have to print it out, fill it out, then re-scan it and re-send it.
Finale (started with ver. 3.0) using 2012 (2014 has been shelved for its lack of support for older Garritan libraries), putting Finale 25 through its paces.
