Scott this sounds amazing, but their website bears zero resemblance to your tutorial!!!

Thank you Scott! This seems to be a great tool. It looks like the very basic service is free, which is good.
I support a bunch of small non-profits in BC and AB and look for utilities that are free. Perhaps one day you could talk about what is available for non-profits. Thank you again!

Would be nice if you mention the price within the review

Do I have to buy this "only office" program to use it? Or is it free to use online?

[orenshahar]

There is no Form option in both online or downloaded app. If there was, they removed it.

hello I'm trying to create a form with my document it's difficult because I can't find any solution. I want to put the text field in a shape and it doesn't stay fixed or change my document. I wanted to fill a table and it pushes all the columns and you have to do it box by box. Thanks for your help
