So far, I really like PDFfiller and have used it to edit several documents that I needed to revised for others but previously could only leave comments for users. Using PDFfiller has made me so much more productive.

It is impossible of find the document I am seeking and all I am getting is a WASTE OF MY TIME!!! The website is incredibly difficult to navigate!!!!! I don't think I am getting much value for the money I spent to print just one document!!! After this horrible experience SUPPORT STAFF was able to assist me in accessing the necessary document and getting it filled out to me the deadline. SUPPORT STAFF is very knowledgeable and were able to resolve the problem quickly!!! Count me a happy customer!!!

The only thing I really had a problem… The only thing I really had a problem with is that I completed what I thought was a "free" form and then had to sign up for a free trial. The actual program is very useful and helpful and relatively easy to navigate through.

PDFfiller note editor Overall, it is a good site to use when you need to edit PDF's, especially for classes. I like how easy it is to upload your PDF on the website by just dragging it into an area that automatically brings it up. When it downloads on the site, you are given so many options to edit the PDF by writing directly on the PDF, attaching shapes, underlining, etc. If the PDF is many pages, all you have to do is scroll through the pages, which makes it very accessible to edit the whole PDF. Something I didn't like about PDFfiller is the pages of the PDF become a little blurry when it downloads on the site. It doesn't effect the editing options, but it does effect how it comes out and looks.

What do you like best? I enjoy the ease with uploading and editing files. As well as, the ability to change file types or combine documents. What do you dislike? The formatting can be time consuming and is hard to keep text consistent with original document. Recommendations to others considering the product: I would consider what you need it for and the price. It serves a good use for pdf editing and file management. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It has simplified my study resources by allowing me to combine relevant documents.

So far so good. I like the friendly interface and the different options of sending processed files. I would like to request developers to incoporate "rotating page" for some documents that may be uploaded upside down

Annotate Annotate allows you to directly draft documents within the app and allows for collaboration throughout the writing process. A key feature of Annotate is its easy fact-checking system.
Annotations have a number of uses, among them: Information for the compiler — Annotations can be used by the compiler to detect errors or suppress warnings. Compile-time and deployment-time processing — Software tools can process annotation information to generate code, XML files, and so forth.
For example, a note that you scribble in the margin of your textbook is an annotation, as is an explanatory comment that you add to a list of tasks at work. Something that has had such notes added to it can be described as annotated.
Annotation tools are applications that you can use for drawing or a text-editing tool that you can use to add more information to an image, a database, or any other type of content that you are using in your business workflow or marketing process.
How do you annotate? Summarize key points in your own words. Circle key concepts and phrases. Write brief comments and questions in the margins. Use abbreviations and symbols. Highlight/underline. Use comment and highlight features built into pdfs, online/digital textbooks, or other apps and browser add-ons.
