"I want to let you know how great PDFpen is. I build homes for a living, and end up having to fill in quite a few PDF files and faxing them. Your product has already made me more productive by giving me the ability to keep all of those files on my computer and faxing them electronically.
The last thing I needed to do was get my signature into the files. I originally used my Wacom tablet for this task...but then I received one of your tip e-mails explaining how to make a transparent copy of your signature."
