I have to second the comment about poor-to-nonexistent dialog. The developer appears to have very fixed ideas, among them taking a dim view of potential customers who ask questions. The demo version is crippled by exchanging certain letters of equivalent width which effectively makes it impossible to trial the software on any real job. These days that is idiosyncratic and harks back to the early days of shareware -- but everyone else has moved on. Smaller developers compete very well by being proactive and customer-accessible -- not this one. A pity because there are innovative ideas, the app. handles wrapping text and graphics well unlike most others and the searchable .pdfs are a definite plus. But it is buggy and cranky, and I feel, overpriced as a result. I'm not sure the database adds much to the concept. And beware if you dare to raise these sorts of questions with the developer!
