PDF Guru Reviews

Summary: PDF GURU are a bunch of scammers ! Do not sign up for the trial. Instead they sign you up for a subscription you do not want then con you out of one month’s subscription fee £49.99 GBP when you try to cancel. The way they operate is ILLEGAL in the UK. Shame on you !!!

Positive: NONE AVOID. There are absolutely no pro’s to signing up for the trial it’s a CON to extort money !!!

Negative: SCAM. SCAM. SCAM. PDF GURU are a bunch of scammers !!!

Summary: It's just a clever scam. It purports to be FREE and is anything but. After you have paid for your 7 day Trial YOU MUST CANCEL IT BY DAY SIX otherwise they'll charge you 49.99 EVERY MONTH.

Positive: None. When you do a search for a 'FREE' pdf editor/converter, pdf guru will probably show at the top of the page. It invites you to upload your document for conversion for FREE.

Negative: It's not FREE. when you attempt to download your converted document it requires payment...for a 7 day 'Trial' But read the 'small print'.

Summary: Very negative- the customer support team has alleged that the monies were refunded to me. They have not been and my bank cannot trace any refunded transaction from PDF Guru.

Positive: No further comments- my experience was tainted by the monies deducted from my account despite the cancellation.

Negative: Charged for an annual subscription despite cancelling my trial period. The customer support team was completely unhelpful and no monies were refunded to me.

Summary: Annoyed by the lack of customer service and the scam of the charge to my account. False advertising.

Positive: Initially I wanted to use it to convert images from pdf to jpg. I did input and it wouldn’t convert the images in the way I needed.

Negative: I signed up for the initial price that seemed like a one time price. However I soon realized that the website couldn’t help me with what I needed to be done. I was then surprised when there was a 49.99 charge on my account. I emailed them and they refused to refund my money. Any company that has customer service would never refuse to refund a customer that was not satisfied with product.

Summary: Awful.

Positive: Nothing.

Negative: Stay away from these con artists. Did a trial, then 2 months later they took 50 euro out of my account despite me never using the service as it couldn't do what I needed. I used a different pdf editor service which worked brilliantly. Refused to refund me despite explaining the situation.

Summary: Worst experience ever, I never though I could be deceive in this way by a website, now I will proceed with legal process

Positive: According to them they are transparency and clear, but they are not. They deceive you to pay for the 0.99 usd trial out for 7 day so they can after that can charge for a 50 usd monthly fee subscription, most of the emails go to spam so you won't notice until is too late to file a claim. Also they won't make you a refund through the website, knowing that most of the payments and enrollments are through website. Horrible experience I strongly recommend to avoid this website and app

Negative: They charge you money without telling you, their emails go directly to spam so you won't realize until is too late

Summary: Terrible experience, I had to cancel my card to avoid possible charges. I needed 1 document and paid for it, and then received the notification that €49.99 more was debited. Scam and terrible experience

Positive: I managed to edit a PDF document.

Negative: The value of €49.99 was charged, a subscription that I neither needed nor wanted was charged, I contacted the company to request a refund and they claim that they do not make refunds in anyway.

Summary: Scam - stay away!
I initially got charged a very small fee which was ok for trying it out. But nowhere did it warm me that it will then start charging a $50 monthly membership.

Positive: Nothing. It didn't really work for my need. When I download the edited file, I always got the original instead, so was useless.

Negative: Didn't work, and also attempted a $49 charge the following month, which luckily my credit card company flagged as fraud.

Summary: You purchase a membership for a week at a cheap rate and you are automatically signed up for a monthly membership at a greatly exaggerated rate. There are better options out there.

Positive: You purchase a membership for a week at a cheap rate and you are automatically signed up for a monthly membership at a greatly exaggerated rate. There are better options out there.

Negative: This product is a con - it is hard to unsubscribe and now I have unsubscribed I have no faith the next payment won't come out.

Summary: Terrible, please do not use this pdf tool, it is very expensive and there is not notification once the trial ends.

Positive: Nothing, I had to use a different tool to achieve the outcome I needed. It is a useless pdf tool do not use it.

Negative: Very expensive, useless tool. You will not receive an email notification about your trial period ending so manually keep track of that.

Summary: Overall I am not satisfied, I made a complaint through my bank to try to get my money back, although I am not sure how it would go.

Positive: I must admit the software is not bad, quite intuitive, but unfortunately all the pros are being devaluated by the fact it was a scam.

Negative: I purchased 0.99 EUR subscription and clicked right away, that I am not willing to keep it active, then I was charged 49.99EUR twice until I realized I am losing money.

Summary: 0/10. No customer service and no way of contacting their business. Ultimately, I had to leave this review.

Positive: Nothing. Did not use their services. Beware of using as this service and website is a scam. They are engaging in unfair and deceptive practices.

Negative: This website is clearly a scam to take people’s money for a service that they never used. Additionally, there is no customer service or a phone number to contact a live representative except a robot that sends automatic replies. Please respond to my email and issue me my refund of $49.99 as I am not entirely sure what I’m paying the money for? I have not used any of your services. If I don’t hear from you, I will be reporting your business to a consumer protection agency.

Summary: Immoral scum. Offers a simple service for a dollar but secretly sets you up for a monthly $50 fee. Just opt for one of the many other services that can do the exact same thing minus the nefarious tactics.

Positive: The service makes it easy to manipulate pdf documents, which I needed to do for an important application. The service was simple to use and intuitive.

Negative: Like most gurus, this guru values money more than integrity. Making a competitive product is hard, so they resort to using deception to get people on their subscription service. Shame on them.

Summary: Scam.

Positive: It combined documents the one time I used it. Was worth the $.99. That's it. That's the pros. This is it.

Negative: The $.99 turns into a $50 subscription that somehow cannot be canceled until after the charges go through. It seems a little... odd that the subscription isn't canceled until they take your money.

Summary: This is clearly a scam to take large amounts of money from users and store their payment details without consent.

Positive: The software works as you would expect it to work, if it were the one off price shown of 0.99 I would have been satisfied.

Negative: You sign up to pay a ONE-OFF fee of 0.99 and without being informed they store your payment details and charge an additional 49.00 without telling you. This cannot be legal.
