PDF filler seems to be very useful. Is/was slightly difficult to figure out but once understood is fairly easy to use. Unfortunately the price is too high for those of us on fixed income. Is there anything lower cost for disabled seniors? Please?

Great system. A representative had a little bit of a short temper. I was asking questions because I really did not understand. So, I finished my chat and started a new one with someone different.

What do you like best? Ease of use and the editing tools available. What do you dislike? It would be great if the system would take me straight to the My Docs page at login. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Great for needed digital signatures on contracts, etc. We also use it to edit maps we use in our business for clarity.

Instructions and Help about Erase Text in PDF For Free

The truth is that sometimes we make errors when filling forms. It can be very disappointing because you may not be permitted to use white­out to correct your mistakes, or you may not want to leave them with unsightly corrections.
In the past, you probably had to print the form again and fill it again. Then, you would either scan the form or send a hard copy to wherever it needed to go. Besides needing a printer and a scanner, the process probably took you far too much time to complete.
Now there is a far easier way to erase text in PDF documents. You can simply use pdfFiller’s editor to erase in PDF!
To get started, you can upload a form to your account or open a document that’s already there. When you open the form you will see a toolbar along the top of the page. Click the “Erase” button in the “Tools” tab to get a content eraser.

Select the content that you want to white-out by clicking and dragging the cursor. Release the cursor when you have finished erasing text or images. You can use the eyedropper to match any color in the document, and the slider to resize the eraser.
