Add Text Box To PDF - FormsLibrary
Users trust to manage documents on pdfFiller platform
Sometimes, when completing a PDF form we don’t know the exact answer to a particular question or need feedback from the document recipient. In situations like this, you can add comments to PDF documents online. In the past, you probably had to print the form and write your comments on the margins of the paper copy. Depending on your handwriting, the form might not have been very tidy and pleasant to look at. Now there is a far easier way to comment PDFs online. pdfFiller's simple but powerful document editor allows you to add text boxes with comments and remove them when they are no longer needed. To get started, you can upload a form to your account or open a document that’s already there. Select the Text Box tool
in the main toolbar, click where you want to place the box and type your comment. To resize the text box, drag its corners or edges. Change the font and its size by choosing from the drop-down lists.
You can underline, italicize or make your text bold using the respective tools.
Change position of the text using the vertical and horizontal alignment tools
To change the color of your text, click the text color box and select the color you want.
To change the background color, click the Background icon and select the color from the palette.
To link the text box to a web page, click the Hyperlink button.
In the dialog window that will open next, type the URL of the web page, then click Save. To delete the text box, click the trash can icon above it.

What our customers say about pdfFiller
PDFfiller is a great way for me to pre-fill documents that I use on a regular basis for my clients. By having as many fields clearly completed as possible, transactions that may have been held up due to illegible or missing information can be processed much more quickly. Clients also appreciate not having to do as much work! I also like the fact that I can use a social media signin for PDFfiller instead of having to create a separate user ID and password. It's one less thing that I have to remember.
What do you dislike?
Sometimes, I get frustrated by the "auto-detect" feature that highlights an entire line of a form. I'd rather use the text insertion feature and place text where I want it rather than have to edit the whole line. The other frustrating thing is having to make sure you're logged out on one computer before using it on another device in the office!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend PDFfiller without hesitation, with one caveat: only one sign-in is allowed at a time per user. If you use multiple computers at your place of employment, make sure you're signed out of PDFfiller on one computer before trying to sign on with the other. It will save you some aggravation. This is especially frustrating if you use the program on a desktop and a laptop and forget to sign out of the desktop computer before bringing the laptop home to work remotely. I did do a lot of research before deciding to invest in PDFfiller, and after my due diligence was hard-pressed to find an option with all of the features that I needed and at a price point that I felt was affordable. For the money, PDFfiller is a great investment for offices looking for ease and convenience with pre-filling forms. The learning curve is not very steep, and there is a lot of functionality for adding features besides text: check/"x" in specific boxes, highlighting, erasing, etc. I have used all of those features with little to no difficulty. Erasing is a bit of a science, with some trial and error involved in determining the exact size of the eraser needed for the job. Being able to move inserted text around easily and increase or decrease the font size as needed is a very helpful feature, especially if you want to call attention to certain pieces of information or make them stand out from the rest of the document. While I have not used the signature feature very often, I have found it to be useful in the rare instances that I have needed it. I have a copy of my signature saved in PDFfiller, which makes it very easy to insert a signature field into documents. Clients also appreciate this feature as well.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
PDFfiller is making it a lot easier for me to personalize and email forms to my clients, improving their service experience and saving me time and trouble. It's a huge convenience for me and much appreciated by clients whose handwriting is less than clear! The biggest benefit to me is having a library of frequently used documents that I can pull up on the fly, make adjustments and edits to a few fields, and have a new document ready to go in a matter of minutes. I've also been able to add information in the "white spaces" of forms I have created in the past, to include client-specific text, contact information and other items.
The interface of PDFfiller is simple and intuitive. I think that most people can sign up and start using PDFfiller without having to spend much time figuring things out. Once we load a PDF into the system, there are straightforward menu items and labels that help to fill out virtually any form from start to finish. I can save to PDF format with my filled-in information or print right from the PDFfiller website.
What do you dislike?
Anytime I post my information online, I get apprehensive about how my data is being used. Though I'm sure PDFfiller probably takes measures to keep our uploaded and saved documents secure, I just never know with all the malware and server attacks that often occur, in general.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Some people probably don't want to hassle with putting their documents through a digitized system, but I think once you upload one form to PDFfiller, you'll see how intuitive the entire process and may possibly not print out documents to fill them out anymore.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
My handwriting is basically terrible and I often get strains when writing since I typically haven't written by hand much over the past several years. PDFfiller lets me fill out PDF documents more effortlessly and lets me align text and other objects with great precision.
