I super recommend it! Editing PDFs when you don't have the source document's has never been easier. You can erase what's written and replace it. What I like the least is that this software is a little bit slow sometimes. But overall, I recommend it.

For pdfFiller’s FAQs

Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
It involved running find to iterate over all the PDF files, running pdftotext, and then grep on each one of them to find the occurrence of the pattern. While this is a tricky process, it uses commands that are already available on most systems by default.
El Ubuntu document viewer allows us to search a PDF in two ways: with the shortcut Ctrl + F or by clicking on the magnifying glass.
Okular PDF Viewer for Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 Supported) Okular is a document viewer that allows you to open PDFs and also supports other common file types like Postscript, DjVu, CHM, XPS, and EPUB. Another great thing about this universal reader is the Night Mode option.
Grep is a powerful tool to search for a pattern or regular expression in a text file but it cannot do the search in pdf files and that's where pdfgrep comes into the picture. It's a simple command used to search PDF files for a regular expression.
The easiest way (if you are using Ubuntu Desktop): Go to your home folder in Nautilus, press Ctrl + F and search for . pdf . You can also change the location and you can make your search more specific.
Use –with-filename or -H option to display pdf file name along with the output when there is one file to search. Output: The command prints the filename by default when there is more than one file to search (implies -H).
