In less than ten minutes I was messaged back by customer service via email, it's 11:15 pm by the way, and the problem at hand was resolved immediately. This is not a robot or program typing this, I am a real human being, my name is Mike and I totally love PDFfiller.

This is my first time using PDF filler, but I like the ability to work with PDF documents this program has given me so far. I would really like the ability to highlight and possibly copy the PDF over to a word or excel document. But being able to highlight and put a sticky is excellent!!!

Worked just as it promised when I looked the app up and read about it. It's a little pricey though as I can go to Adobe's online app for $9.99. Why the big difference?

Good Good, but would be better if the cursor would line up exactly on each line with the line above. It's frustrating to have to manually line it up every time.

Student charged 115€ despite cancelling… Student charged 115€ despite cancelling free trial – very disappointed I am extremely disappointed with my experience on pdffiller. I had signed up for the free trial, made sure to cancel it before the end, and yet I was still charged €115.20 for a full annual subscription without my consent. I am a student, and this unexpected charge has pushed my bank account into overdraft, causing me financial stress. I never agreed to any paid subscription, and when I log into my account, it still shows as “free”, proving that I had cancelled on time. After checking Trustpilot, I realized that many other customers are facing the exact same issue — this seems to be a recurring problem. I have contacted customer support and sincerely hope they will resolve this quickly and refund me. But this situation is really unfair and unacceptable.

Initiate Text Object: full-featured PDF editor

The right PDF editor is important to streamline your paperwork.

Even if you hadn't used PDF file type for your documents before, you can switch anytime — it is easy to convert any format into PDF. This makes creating and using most of them easy. You can also make just one PDF file to replace multiple files of different formats. That’s why it is ideal for basic presentations and reports.

Many solutions allow you to edit PDFs, but there are only a few to cover all use cases at a reasonable cost.

Use pdfFiller to edit documents, annotate and convert them into many other file formats; add your digital signature and fill out, or send out to others. All you need is a web browser. You don’t need to download or install any programs.

Use one of the methods below to upload your form template and start editing:

01
Upload a document from your device.
02
Open the Enter URL tab and insert the hyperlink to your sample.
03
Find the form you need in the online library using the search field.
04
Upload a document from cloud storage (Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, One Drive and others).
05
Browse the Legal library.

Once a document is uploaded, it’s saved and can be found in the “My Documents” folder.

Use powerful editing features to type in text, annotate and highlight. Add and edit visual content. Change a document’s page order. Add fillable fields and send documents for signing. Ask your recipient to fill out the fields. Once a document is completed, download it to your device or save it to the third-party integration cloud.

To convert text into a shape, right-click on the text layer, and choose Convert To Shape. Then select the Direct Selection tool (the white arrow tool) by pressing Shift A and click-and-drag the points in the path to give the characters a new shape.
First, you'll need to insert a shape by going to Insert > Shapes. We're going to use a nice rounded rectangle, which by default will be filled in with blue. Right-click anywhere in your shape and click the Add Text command. This places an insertion point in the shape where you can type your text.
On the Insert tab, click Shapes. Click the shape you want, click anywhere in the workspace, and then drag to place the shape. To create a perfect square or circle (or constrain the dimensions of other shapes), press and hold Shift while you drag.
On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Shapes, and then click the shape that you want. Drag to create the shape. The shape is automatically selected. On the Drawing Tools tab, in the Insert Shapes group, click Edit Text. Type the text that you want.
On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Shapes, and then click the shape that you want. Drag to create the shape. The shape is automatically selected. On the Drawing Tools tab, in the Insert Shapes group, click Edit Text. Type the text that you want.
