Emilio, I am glad you already contacted Smile Software, as I wanted to contact them myself concerning PDFPen. The kicker for me is that I did not purchase the software yet, and wanted to know if they had VO compatibility on the horizon for future updates. The response is not super generic since they did mention some of the specifics they would like to make work first. So, being an optimist, I will hope that they follow through. I'll go ahead an pen my own email to them today.
Thanks.
