Whic one of these will work best on the mac? I’m in the process of starting a job in the same line of work that I’m already in, and I would love to use this same format. This company has hired me on a tryal basis to test web sites they send me for 508 compliant issues, which the spreadsheet I was using at work was perfect for, aside from the fact that adobe reader was very unstable that it runs verry slowly and crashes at least once a day. I really want to get this up and running asap though, so whatever info you could give me would really be appreciated. > On Feb 10, 2018, at 1:03 PM, Jonathan Cohn <jon.c.c...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Jessica, > > Generally these are called PDF forms and not spreadsheets.
