As a trustee that reviews over 140 petitions and schedules a month, I have
found New Hope petitions difficult to review. When using the bookmarks to
navigate through the petition, the page view defaults to full page rather
than my default setting of fit to width.

Also, I've heard the practitioner can reorder the pages, but every petition
I've see from New Hope doesn't follow the order set forth by the Judicuary
or instructions. The program even produces a B-6, Form 6 Cover Page into the
petition but doesn't follow the prescribed order.
