What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
It was confusing. I had sent a rental app to a client and I didn't know where to get the reply. When the customer called me she said she was unable to send it. I eventually found it on the PDF Filler site but couldnt do anything with it. I then realized even though I thought I subscribed, I apparently did not. Found that out when I clicked "done" and suddenly the prices came up. Very confusing way to do business.

It meets my needs very well. If I could get my own fax number for less than $10/month I would add that. As it is now, I have a fax separate from this but only pay $8/month so will keep and use separately. Disappointed it was so much for the add on. Also, for the edit option. Many things to do but all as add ons. For now, I like what I can do, though.

Stress free I am able to get many projects done quicker and more efficiently with the use of PDFfiller. I enjoy the benefit of multiple different ways to finalize the project, send for signatures, print, email, save, etc. I love that this software is simple to use and I don't feel I need training to use it. Almost all the functions this software has is what I need to complete task in my professional role. I wish there were ways to combine documents, or if there is, making it easier to do so.

King of PDF Filling PDFfiller really saves time by allowing you to directly write on the PDF. Previously I had to print it out and fill out the details and have to rescan the document and PDFfiller eliminates all these steps. It's very simple to use as you just have to drop the PDF file which needs to be filled. The biggest advantage is that it also works with a file which is not "fillable" by allowing you to add text and images on it. Often times larger PDF file doesn't work directly so I have to divide it and have to re-upload them again. I think it would be really helpful if PDFfiller allows such functionality by default where it either works directly or ability to divide it on their website.

Making signing easy It was a great team friendly program that made things get done a lot faster and more efficiently even in large with large numbers working on the same thing. Makes getting multiple groups of people working on one thing done faster with not all having to come to the same place. Sometimes it was difficult trying to download the papers once the words were added.

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).
