I like it but wish there was an edit instead of erase and text to change something. There may be but I'm not aware of it so a webinar would be very helpful.

What makes PDF filler so useful The features I find impactful are how you can convert any file to a PDF, manage various documents and text searching a document. Having these features really makes this software standout, and being easy to use and to manage or search for files by a click. I didn't feel there was anything missing, as everything that was needed is here in this software. There is nothing lacking in using this software.
