Search Text in PDF

pdfFiller helps you quickly spot the word or phrase you’re looking for in a document regardless of how often it appears or the length of the document. Use the Search tool to find a word or a phrase in the currently open document. To activate the Search tool, click the magnifier icon in the main toolbar or press CTRL+F on your keyboard.

Type the text you want to find in the search field. The counter will show you the number of the current search term and the total number of search terms found in the document.

5.0

PDF Filler - Time Saver It's another great tool to have in my toolbox. It's important to be quick and effective in my line of work and this helps tremendously. Love that I can go in and make corrections quickly and can share with my clients securely. Even more, I love that I can easily eliminate pages or combine documents into one. It took a few times using the app to figure it out.

What do you like best? It is user friendly, very easy to navigate and to find the features I need regularly such as text and erase What do you dislike? Nothing that stands out. Again I use it every day and it has greatly reduced time spent on admin work Recommendations to others considering the product: It's worth the investment What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I have many forms sent to me (employee evaluations, intern evaluations) that are in pdf and pdf filler has been an affordable way to turn those forms around quickly
