Very glad to hear it.  I had a real pain in the ass problem with
a PDF file I needed to file with a government regulator a couple
of years ago and PDFPen saved my butt.  It was a bit flakey -
especially when editing some long text and the alignment kept
flipping around, but it ultimately worked and that was a huge
thing for me.

The whole business about whether you can save a PDF form as
filled-out or not (and it's a lot less clear than one might
think - if you do fill in a form and try to save it, make
damned sure the content was really saved before you close
the sucker!) was ridiculous.

Nah - wrong Bread.  I've been Bread, though, for about 12 years.

Plain Bread alone for e-mail, thanks.  The rest gets trashed.
