Program great, easy to use. Difficulty processing payment. Had to call/email support to get assistance. That was super frustration when I was ready to finish up.

All good. However it would be nice to be able to move the type up and down when placed on the page rather than have to keep placing the type symbol in a spot where you think it will fit on the line.

So far, it is excellent for moderately tweaking content. It would be nice if I could select images and move them like Adobe but this is so rarely needed....

edit your PDFs as the best. 1.- It's Free. although there are some functions that are paid, for daily use just a free account which is very good. 2.- Pretty friendly and friendly interface. Everything is understandable and the use of the program is very easy to understand. 3.- Its use can be integrated with dropbox, googlr drive, box and onedrive. 3.- You can use files that are in your pc, your cloud or in some website (in this case you just have to enter the link). 4.- with the built-in editor you can add images, scratch, write in the text, delete sectors, hide words or paragraphs with black, add lines, and many other things. 5.- You can save your work in pdf, word, excel or powerpoint format. It also includes the option to send via mail, fax or simply share the link. the bad thing, is that if or if you must register to use it, which perhaps is not something serious, but the program forces you to do so.

I appreciate the different features to edit the documents. I primarily used it for my studies, where I have to closely read a large amount of texts and am not always able or willing to print them (also due to ecological reasons). However something that annoyed me somewhat is the fact, that one can not edit the font of individual words in a textbox. For example when I want to underline a specific word in a sentence, it automatically underlines the whole passage.

Service only needed once I'm in my 89th year and only needed to send in the form once...I didn't know that I was subscribing to ongoing service. I live on Social Security supplemented by savings so I can't afford $96 per year for a service I only needed once. Thank you for the time I did need you.

I accidently was charged after trying… I accidently was charged after trying this for completing a teacher application and not finding it as user-friendly as I thought for myself. I had a snip of cancelling, so after a few emails I was able to get a full refund. Very responsive!

Use the OCR technology to extract data from PDFs

pdfFiller uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to extract multiple lines of data from similar documents into a single Excel Spreadsheet. OCR converts images of text into machine-encoded text from a scanned document, a photo of a document, a scene-photo, etc. The Extract in Bulk feature allows you to quickly collect client data from different forms and compile it in a single table. Thus, there is no longer any need to go through every document to copy required information and transfer it into an Excel Spreadsheet. Moreover, pdfFiller uses OCR technology to recognize initial characters from PDF documents and flawlessly transfer them into a spreadsheet. To extract fillable fields in a PDF, select a completed document as a template and click Extract in Bulk on the right pane.

Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is a technology that enables you to convert different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into editable and searchable data.
OCR is short for optical character recognition. During OCR scanning, an algorithm recognizes characters from printed sources and converts them into digital format. Once this is done, the digital format is easily searchable and editable.
