Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I implement Jotform PDF Editor with many of the Jotforms that I use on clients' websites. Some of my clients host conferences that require attendees to pre-register. By integrating Jotform PDF Editor I can have each registration emailed to my client as an attachment. This also works well for parade entries as well as a host of other uses.
