Instructions and Help about Switch from Foxit Reader to pdfFiller for a Edit Scanned PDF Documents Online Solution For Free

Did you ever need to edit scanned PDF documents, like a registration or application form that you wanted to complete online?

In the past, for editing a scanned document you probably had to print it and fill fields in by hand. Then, you would either scan it or send a hard copy to wherever it needed to go. Besides needing a printer and a scanner, the process probably took you far too much time to complete.

Now there is a far easier way to edit scanned documents. You can simply use pdfFiller as a scanned document editor!

Click the black square to change the color of your text box, and click the tree icons to resize the text. Click the “Signature” or “Picture” button to sign your document or insert an image. You can also edit the document by highlighting, blacking out or erasing any text by or image by clicking the respective button in the “Edit” tab.

Need clients to complete a form and/or sign a document; pdfFiller is the perfect tool. I needed a way for clients to access a fillable PDF via link multiple times throughout a process and give access to this same form to other team members to sign off on different stages of the process. pdfFiller made this very easy to do I was able to teach this to my team in 10 minutes so we were able to integrate this into our workflow. Easy to use, even if you have no experience creating fillable forms or verified digital signatures. It only manages very basic workflows, however, their sister app AirSlate does full workflow management, so if you need something a bit more robust, that's a great option!

Perfect for merging multiple JPG images into a compact PDF This app / web page allowed me to easily merge six JPG image files (each 2550x3300 pixels, some included photos) into a single compressed PDF document that was small enough (7MB) to be easily shared as an email attachment. Did exactly the job I wanted it to!
