What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
It is somewhat confusing at first, but after learning the program it is very helpful and convenient to use! I enjoy all of the different options regarding the tools to fill out a PDF, for me it was a rental application for an apartment that i needed to fill out. The one thing I did not like is that after i had filled out my entire application via the pdffiller app, i could not e-mail the pdf until i paid for a plan. Somewhat disappointing, but regarding the program it is a good one.

PDFFiller I liked being able to create customizable fillable forms for our company. Overall, it is easy to use and responsive. PDF filler is great for a digital signature and saves your previous signature for efficiency. the customizable form feature sometimes lagged and caused minor issues.

PDF Filler service and support! The actual service platform is fantastic, but their customer support is also top notch. One of their service agents, Kara, took care of an issue I was having within moments, and all done in an incredibly friendly and professional manner. Kudos to Kara! ;-)

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.
