In other words, instead of scanning the document we are now focusing our efforts on looking at the metadata present in the metadata of the current document (e.g. There are also several other reasons for that: if a document contains multiple PDFs all of them should appear within one process, and they should still be treated the same way..

I must say "PDF filler" is the best… I must say "PDF filler" is the best company I have ever had the privilege of dealing with. Such prompt courteous service when you have a question. If you call their phone # and have a wait, just leave your number. They will actually call you back ASAP the same day. Found that out with surprise!! Wanted to cancel my subscription. No problem she said. Got an email on that the very next day. The only reason I cancelled is the 4-page form I needed to type out is just once a year. Loved the selection of type styles and sizes. Made it a pleasure to fill in.
