    It's possible to save money, time, and paper with PDFLiner. In addition to
    those in the legal and scientific sectors, this includes those in accounting,
    human resources, and education. PDFLiner makes it simple to save your most
    frequently used templates. Upload them whenever you need them, make any
    necessary edits, and email them straight away!

    Great for Technical Users. It's great for people a bit more on the technical side. It allows developers to quickly create and modify reporting templates without having to modify source code or make updates to a repository. Potentially Difficult for Non-Technical Users. Making substantial changes to the data portions of reporting can be a bit difficult for non-technical users. While Windward's tools for this are great, it still requires an understanding of the database schema which not all users will have.

    Pros
    PDFLiner
    • Signing documents for myself and my employer has never been easier.
    • For me, the simplicity of not having to use sophisticated tools to customize forms for certain situations is appealing.
    • It's easy to use and doesn't necessitate a strong Internet connection to make use of this program.

    • Native Office output -- not nested tables and/or horrible RTF like other tools generate.
    • Ease of use -- once the data sources are set up, creating tables is as simple as drag and drop (okay, maybe not exactly that simple, but you can certainly create a table of data using drag and drop, then format it and manipulate it as needed).
    • Responsive developers and support -- when I've had questions, they've been addressed VERY quickly and professionally.

    Cons
    PDFLiner
    • There is no mobile app for PDFLiner which I think is a major drawback of this tool.
    • Though the tool is straightforward we find it complex when we need to search for a specific form in it.
    • Editing text is fine with this tool but I think there is a limitation of styling the text when editing any document.

    • It is hard to pick out the tags if they are mixed in with a block of text.
    • Using report variables in select statements causes the selection list of available fields to not show anything.
    • The color themes do not match the office selection and it feels very disconnected.

    Our department uses PDFLiner to modify PDF format contracts and other documents before sending them to our consumers for e-signing. Not only that, but this program allows access to the templates of over 30 million different sorts of writable agreements, saving us a lot of time and effort.

    For the most part, the Windward report designer is intuitive for our users; but there are a few areas where it is less intuitive. In these cases, our users need to search Windwards support wiki site, or even contact their support technicians. This can also be due to the short time we've had Windward and our lack of knowledge.

    Support is something they take pride in. Once an issue is raised, they are quick to respond and provide details on a fix. No complaints on support here.

    Everyone in my department uses PDFLiner. Everything we need
    to get the work done is included in this team strategy. Allows us to streamline
    our operations and ensure that everyone is using the same tools. If I had to
    make a choice, I would go with this over more "advanced" options.

    We evaluated several other products to integrate with our new software, but Windward Studios was an obvious standout above the majority. Other applications required some level of software development knowledge and experience to create templates and a much steeper learning curve. After consideration of ease of use, as well as a cost-comparison between different products, Windward Studios was the most suitable product to meet our needs.
