Great work. Thanks, Gigi. I too am happy to do anything I can to help them with this. I agree better PDF support for VoiceOver is really needed on the Mac, and PDFPen seems to have all the pro features that one would need with PDF editing software. I hope they can do the same thing on iOS as wel

Hi there I just sent the developers two files, both blank forms directly from the Internal Revenue web site. I did this for comparison purposes. This is because when I filled out my taxes with these forms the first six lines of the 1040 did not work, and I couldn't check that I was blind and my

You might try PDFpen Pro. I used it this year to do my tax forms. It seems to work pretty well although there were some fields that didn't fill-in. I plan to send them a copy of the blank form to see if it was the form or the program. They said they are interested in Accessibility. Sincerely, G

Hi. I have tried using PDF pen pro, but I can not get it to work as I wish. Could anyone give some hints. I have bought the program long ago. Yesterday I thought I could use it, but no it wouldn't work, but I could use it for copying the form to textedit and fill it out that way. Best regards

Just a little tip. I've had folks who received a PDF I filled out with textEdit say that the stuff I filled out wouldn't print. Not sure why that was but I cheated and re-printed it to a PDF on my end and that seemed to fix it. To do that, even if you don't have a printer set up on the Mac, you
