I whipped up a quick sample and tried to save the PDF, but it came out corrupted (Preview refused to open it). Here's the document I made: http://www.pdfamigo.com/edit?document_id=aghwZGZhbWlnb3IOCxI... In case it's useful to you, here's the PDF that it generated: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/2779/pdfamigo.pdf
If you're going to have a show gridlines option (Good Thing), you should probably have a snap to grid option for the form elements, so people don't have to stare at the screen and jiggle their mouse to make it all line up.
Better if possible to group multiple choices and rename fields. Best,
Simple and intuitive. The UI is fast. Not much more to ask. You should submit it to http://AppUseful.com

Thanks a lot. That's very useful. I've mainly used Acrobat Reader to test the generated PDFs but they should really work everywhere.
Having said that, Preview is not the best in rendering PDF forms unfortunately...
Would a few examples of a range of possible end products possible (even just screen shots) help noobs envision the usefulness of it. [sorry if that's getting you into marketing issues (?prematurely?).]
Maybe noobs could even be shown an editable example (eventually: several examples to choose from - templates essentially) to play around with: i.e., a "sandbox".
Nice work!
I think there is a usecase/market where you offer an HTML-Interface to the form and save/send the results as pdf. Imagine a job-application form at a big company where the applicants can fill the form online but the HR guys get mailed a pdf (which they are used to). Maybe its out of scope for this site, but if you have the technology you may start another one.
The tricky part I believe is secure handling of user data as these form can contain sensitive stuff...
I'm wondering: what's your target audience? That would influence my suggestions. But generally I'd strongly second the "don't start with blank page."

In any case, form examples, screenshots, etc are an absolute necessity so thanks for pointing that out.

Hmmm, good question. I think my target audience may be a bit too broad (I hope!) to define... but I am sure there is a lot of companies that produce PDF forms all the time. So, in a sense, I am mostly targeting businesses rather than individuals. In any case, form examples, screenshots, etc are an absolute necessity so thanks for pointing that out.
