What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
ITS PRETTY GREAT, THERE ARE A FEW FEATURES I WOULD LIKE, INCLUDING AN ONLINE MANUAL AND THE ABILITY TO MOVE TEXT BOXES ONCE THEY ARE FILLED OUT. THERE COULD ALSO BE AN ABILITY TO PAY PER FORM AS I PROBABLY WON'T BE FILLING OUT PDFS FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY MONTHLY PAYMENTS.

This is the first time I've needed this type of aid, and I've found it to be very useful and relatively easy to use. Sorry, I'm really too swamped with work to do another survey

What do you like best?
The ability to edit practically any document, within reason. As a Finance professional, it's much easier to add a JPEG of a signature to hundred of checks rather than signing them by hand. My carpal-tunnel free wrists thank you!
What do you dislike?
I don't have any negative comments; everything that the program promises, it delivers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great value for a relatively low monthly cost.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
It allows for rapid addition of signatures to checks, contracts, affidavits, etc.

Easy to use I couldn't find what I was looking for on the CRA site and this popped up in my search. I have used it before for Real Estate forms. I didn't know I could use it for CRA forms too. I love how easy it is to use.

THIS THING IS A DREAM (although I did have some kind of issue opening up a file.) I used the MERGE function and it merged some files I didn't need. That was weird. So I'm editing one page at a time instead. That seems to be working.

You may have received an access-restricted PDF. The original author of the file may not have wanted other users to copy information directly out of the document and thus used a PDF editor to restrict those functions. Again, you should contact the original author where possible if you need many passages from the text.
You can copy content from a PDF unless the author has applied security settings that disallow copying. If you want to copy large content from a PDF, you can easily export the PDF to Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Quickly convert PDF to Word online. Try now for free.
Click on the Options symbol in the top right and select the Print option. When you go to select the destination printer, click on the drop-down menu and select the Print to PDF option. Select Print, and this will create a new PDF that does not have any of the security restrictions from the original document.
Open the PDF document in Reader. Choose Edit Copy File to Clipboard. The content is copied to the clipboard. In an another application, choose Edit Paste to paste the copied content.
Once the PDF is open in Chrome, click the printer icon or use the Ctrl + P keyboard shortcut. In the print window, click the Change button and change the Destination to Save as PDF. Click the Save button. Once saved, open the PDF in any reader, and you can copy and paste the text using the steps mentioned above.
