Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I'm looking for applications that are open, to get my privacy back. Simple to use, efficient and private. And they must be FOSS. Cons Does exactly what it is designed for, not much options.		Pros from Real Users Pros The best kind and fast service. in every inquiry I always receive a professional response. Great Tool! After evaluating several other replacements for our current PDF solution, RAD PDF is the best fit by a large margin. The architecture is a very close fit to our current solution and will require very little conversion. Support for signatures was a key feature we were looking for, and RAD PDF provides solid signature support.
