Got a PDF form to fill out? Let's face it. PDF forms are a pain, and you want to fill out that pesky PDF form and get on with your life. PDFs aren't going anywhere for while. As long as chiropractors, lawyers, and the IRS keep making them, we'll have to keep filling them out. Form Zap was designed to be fast. Like a zap of static electricity... except I promise, you won't get ESD or shocked from using it. Features - 1 font size: 15pt - 1 font style: Courier, because monospace fonts rule! - 1 font color: Blue, so your text stands out from the black text everywhere else - Familiar Undo system: shake or 3-finger swipe left Maybe you're in Safari and you found a PDF form to fill out. Just tap the Share button and copy it Form Zap. Adding text to the form is as simple as just tap and type. Tip: tap on the line where you want your text to appear. Mistakes inevitably happen. So that's why Form Zap has a different philosophy when it comes to correcting those mistakes. If your text is not quite in the right position, just undo by swiping left on your screen with 3 fingers. Your last entry will be deleted, and you tap on a new location to re-enter your text. Once you get a feel for how Form Zap places text, you'll find yourself making less and less positioning mistakes!
