my experiences at first was a little upsetting but we overcame it when a lady from the company called me and everything since then has being great

So far good. It has been challenging to learn how to use this. It has taken much application and chatting with your customer service reps, who have all been awesome. I won't say it's the easiest to learn but it's easy to use (if that makes any sense). We still can't explain why my msn email blocks pdf filler or pdf filler won't send it to my msn (not sure which). It never shows up in my spam/junk filter there and your website shows it sent. My gmail emails work fine using this.

Easy to use once I figured it out - with 3 jobs it has become mandatory to use/edit pdf which I have been trying to avoid. Thanks! Update: Still liking this program!

I was a little confused but looks like it will be great once I have the time to sit down and go through a tutorial and then set up my "forms"

What do you like best?
Great support team with quick responses.
What do you dislike?
Don't dislike anything at this time. It is user friendly for what I need to complete.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Great tool to add and delete from forms.

What do you like best?
I like that I can upload either my own documents or find documents online.
What do you dislike?
The tab feature does not work when I upload my own documents
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go in and play with it and learn all the functions, otherwise it seems too expensive for simply filling in the blanks.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Everything is legible. When you have the ability to type in fields, of a pre-typed form, other people have an easier time reading.

How I spent an hour filling out fields, then was forced into a trial through the threat of losing my doc if I did not comply with trial? that? that was messed up. the app is amazing. but that first experience overshadows.

I had to do profit and loss statements for my boss but I did not know how to change the form itself as a template. I needed more time to get help but I was in a hurry.

Instructions and Help about Scan File PDF Online

Did you ever need to edit scanned PDF documents, like a registration or application form that you wanted to complete online?

Screen
Choose the “Text” button and start typing on your scanned document. You can move text by dragging the text box. You can also change the font type or size by clicking the corresponding dropdown in the toolbar. To underline your text, to make it bold or italic, use the “U”, “B”, and “I” icons.
Screen
Click the black square to change the color of your text box, and click the tree icons to resize the text. Click the “Signature” or “Picture” button to sign your document or insert an image. You can also edit the document by highlighting, blacking out or erasing any text by or image by clicking the respective button in the “Edit” tab. To edit your document further, click the “Pages” tab on the left or the “Watermark” and the “Versions” tabs on the right.
