What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
I use a Chromebook. I joined a Chromebook forum And PDFfiller came highly recommended when I needed to send a fax, fast. I was very impressed with the ease of transferring a PDF file and faxing it with a few very easy steps. I've since needed it again and to happy that I had it. I will definitely be checking out other option PDFfiller has to offer.

I spent approx $70 for PDF Filler, could not find a page rotate icon when I really needed it, then a screen popped up that I would have to spend $120 per year to have this additional function. I was in the midst of needing to reorient some legal documents so paid the additional money. I find this to be less than fair business practice as when I signed up there was no clear breakdown presented on the functions available for different costs.

I took away one star because this is not an intuitive program at all. I have spent hours trying to figure out very simple tasks but once I figured it out it everything went very smothly.

I find it very helpful, but sometimes I can't find the form I have completed and I have to start over when I need to make changes. Or it wont allow me to make changes.

No Complaints but this survey popped up in the middle of drafting in the middle of the night. It would have been nice if it comes up later in the drafting.

I had a little bit of trouble using this app but I didn't put much time into trying to learn. I think it would be worthwhile for anyone who works with documents to learn how to use this app but I just don't have the time and only needed one document. When it came time to cancel, they were gracious enough to make it easy by clicking on cancel instead of having to call or write and jump through hoops. Thank you pdfFiller for letting me try your app.

Can I convert scanned documents to text?
You can scan a document and convert the text into a format that you can edit with a word processing program. This process is called OCR (Optical Character Recognition). To scan and use OCR, you need to use an OCR program, such as the ABBYY FineReader program that came with your scanner.
How do I copy text from a scan copy?
Select the image item that contains text you want to copy. Click the right-mouse button, and then, on the shortcut menu, click Copy Text. Select Copy Text on the Item ribbon. The OCR software extracts the text and copies it to the Windows Clipboard.
Can we copy text from scanned document?
When a document is scanned or photo copied into a PDF, it's essentially a digital photograph; any text within that PDF cannot be copied or changed. However, using an OCR (optical character recognition) program or online service you can convert text contained in an image or PDF into text that can be copied and edited.
