This month, we’ve rolled out a series of exciting new features and important fixes across PDF Butler, SIGN Butler, FORM Butler, and CONTRACT Butler designed to improve your document generation, digital signing, web forms, and contract management workflows.
Here’s a detailed overview of everything included in the April 2025 releases!
