PDF fields change font sizes leading to an unprofessional-appearing printed page. The examples for "Convey to" section don't include how to specify just one person instead of a married couple. Maybe that is simple but it would help to spell it out in an example. Haven't submitted to County Recorder yet, so will find out if it is acceptable.
Thank you for the feedback Brian.
The font issue is caused by using a PDF viewer other than Adobe Acrobat Reader. Our form fields are set to a uniform 12-point font, but non-Adobe viewers often render form fields inconsistently. Opening and printing the form with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader will resolve that.
Regarding the examples, that's a fair point, we'll look at expanding them.

Might be adequate if I was desperate. Formatting screams amateur hour -- not a legal issue but likely to invite closer scrutiny when filed. Instructions were supposed to be county-specific but directed me to call the recorder to ask them how to fill out part of the form. Not planning to use the form and would not purchase it again. I could probably do better by uploading some examples and the original mortgage from the Recorder's website into Claude along with the transaction-specific information and asking Claude to prepare a more professional release.
Aaron, we’re sorry the form and instructions did not meet your expectations. Your order has been canceled and your payment refunded. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best with preparing the release in the way that works best for your situation.
