Instructions and Help about Erase Using PDF

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.

What our customers say about pdfFiller

What do you like best?
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.

Wow! Finally a real online PDF editor, no more troubles on changing text and much more! Just found it randomly, and since the beginning it shows me lots of features to edit pdf like texts, images, signs, highlights and more. The graphic looks a bit oldie, but this is not a problem at all. Functionality first! 30 days trial, then you've to pay.
