The most important thing to remember when considering this product. Is that while the program to do this may well exist. What is being offered is a service by another company to make your documents fillable and save-able. (And it isn't completely free-ware, some of their services do have a charge associated with them.)
One would suppose that when handing out a 'free-ware product' offering a method to convert PDF documents to fillable and save-able would actually allow one to do so on your home machine.
This product while potentially interesting and innovative is little more than vaporware for the end-user if you are expecting to do this conversion on your home machine you will be confused, and sadly mistaken.
The product requires one to email or send one's document to the developer, who then runs it through something on their machine and then emails your PDF back to you.
Which is a no-go situation if one is working with large PDF documents on either a dial-up connection, or a machine that has no network connectivity.
So, the 'product' isn't really a product. It's a service, that depending on your needs you might need to pay them per document to manage.
I'm giving the product an N/A for Ease of Use as it's not really a product. The documentation is extremely poor as it doesn't indicate that you have to purchase some of the services provided, or even that you can't make these 'special method PDF' files on your home machine.
The actual (v.2.1) included items are a text file with the license and terms of use, and an example of what their service can provide. Using Acrobat 5.0 the pop-up boxes force you to go to their WWW site, and on a 1024x768 screen one can't even read the entire popup box, or relocate it to another position so as to be able to read it.
The key then is, that unfortunately, as offered, the features advertised require one to email your document off to a service provider. One is unable to create the special PDF files without emailing your document to the service provider for conversion. (Some of which is free, others of which again require charge, and if the content of your PDF is under an NDA (nondisclosure agreement) extremely large, or with potentially sensitive content the 'service provider' option is non-existent.
While the fact that the service provider has offered U.S. government documents that allow full 'fill-in' features is a nice touch and potentially quite useful it is merely a site that allows you to download examples of their product, not the ability to create 'Fill-in Documents' yourself.
As such, I'd have to not recommend the product, due to it being complete vaporware and being merely an advertisement for their (sometimes free) service.
Their service model might be good, but it's not a program that allows one to do this conversion on your machine.
