Hi there I haven't followed this thread too closely because of the holidays etc. However, did you get PDF Pen pro or some other program? Nic and I had some correspondence about this when I can use it just fine, and he couldn't. He and I both got things resolved, so I was wondering if we could figure out what the problem is. I filled out the form 1040 last year with this program, and recently filled out a recertification for para transit with it also. Of course, I was using voice over all the time.The only trouble I had was with the check boxes, and they are still working on that. Gigi
