PDF Guru Reviews

Summary: Do not click on their site. Do not trust their trial. Avoid PDF Guru at all costs.

Positive: Nothing I liked about it.please find further description on the cons part. Avoid them at all cost!!!!

Negative: I signed up for what was advertised as a simple trial for under €1. What they don’t tell you clearly is that unless you cancel—buried deep in their terms—you’ll be charged €49.99 monthly. That’s exactly what happened to me. I never agreed to a subscription, and despite sending multiple complaints, they ignored every single one. No refund, no resolution—just silence.
This company operates like a subscription trap, preying on unsuspecting users. Their customer service is nonexistent, and they seem perfectly content profiting off deception. I consider this behavior fraudulent and unethical.

Summary: Now I found that they charged my bank account, $49.99. Until now, they have never acknowledged my email. I sent it to :support@pdfguru.com ; info@pdfguru.com; help@pdfguru.com; and social@pdfguru.com but none of these ever replied. I don't think any of these emails are working. I will give them 24 hours to reply to me otherwise, I will report PDF Guru to INTERPOL's Cybercrime Unit since this is a crossborder scam / fraud operation and to Cyprus Police's Office for Combating Cybercrime (OCC) since they are registered in Cyprus.

Positive: N/A.

Negative: I am upset that I got charge $49.99 for a monthly fee. I tried it out for a $.99 "one-time" use and immediately cancelled via email, within 48 hours....no acknowledgement. I sent another follow up email after another 2 days....still no acknowledgement.

Summary: It is sheeting an a fraud avoid using it.

Positive: It does the job, but sheeting.

Negative: It asks you to pay money for every action. Then after a week they withdraw non-refundable 45 USD without prior notice. There is a little note about that you hardly see. After paying the 45 USD, if you decide to use the application, it asks you again to pay for every action. It is a fraud 100% avoid using it.

Summary: 1 star ⭐️ is too much being cannot give zero stars as they deserved

Positive: NONE.
There is no Pros only scamming peoples starting from 99 cents turn into $49.99/month.

Negative: I signed up for what I thought was a 99¢ subscription and never even used the product. Without my knowledge, I was being charged $49.99 per month for 18 months.

When I finally noticed and called to cancel, they immediately offered me a 6-month refund—which tells me they know exactly what they’re doing. Even more insulting, during that same call they offered me a 2-year subscription for just 99¢ (smile), showing the whole “premium” price is a complete gimmick.

To make matters worse, I discovered that the same exact product—with the same features—is available from another company for $49.99 per year, not per month.

This company’s business model feels deceptive and predatory. Please be aware and check your statements carefully.

Summary: It isn’t purchasing a one time 5 days purchase (€1.99) like it seems, it’s a subscription and after the first week you are charged €50 Euro, this company is the worst, hidden terms and conditions and they are proud of that fact, pathetic! Avoid at any cost!!!!
This was what they answered:
Hello Nikolaos,
Thank you so much for getting in touch!

I’m here to provide you with the necessary details regarding your purchase to help clear up the matter.

According to our records, you signed up for our service on Jul 25, which began with a 7-day trial period. As per our policy, once the trial ends, it automatically renews into a paid monthly plan unless it has been canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Please accept my apologies if this information didn’t stand out during the sign-up process. I completely understand how it’s possible to miss certain details, especially when things are busy.

Furthermore, to avoid any future charges, please be sure to cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Since the subscription wasn’t canceled in time, the renewal fee was automatically charged to your account. You can always review the full details in our Subscription Terms for more clarity.

Getting back to your inquiry, I understand this may be disappointing, but according to our Refund Policy, payments made through our website are non-refundable. Therefore, I’m unable to process a refund, as this is consistent with the policies outlined in our Money-Back policy, which can be found on our website.

However, please rest assured that your subscription has been canceled, so no further payments will be made.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our team is here to support you.

Wishing you a wonderful day!
When i tried to refund my money they said that's the terms of our policy. I don't even get a refund via PayPal cause they are well protected!!!

Positive: I just tried to convert a simple pdf to a word format page.Just for training. I paid 2€ for 7 days ( that is Ok) but after that they changed me 49.99€!!!for a subscription month!!!

Negative: You pay 2€ for a one time 5 days purchase but it is hidden one month 50€ purchase description! Be aware of this scams and thieves!!!

Summary: This feels like a scam. They advertise a trial, then charge early and won’t take responsibility. It’s dishonest and shows they care more about grabbing your money than treating customers fairly. Avoid this app unless you want to fight to get your money back.

Positive: N/A.

Negative: I started the 7-day free trial on July 23 and was charged $49.99 on July 30—before the trial even ended. I contacted support immediately and explained the issue, but they flat-out refused to refund me.

Summary: The purchasing process has been designed to extort money from inattentive customers. This should be prohibited.

Positive: I needed 1 conversion, I paid 3.99 for the service. Two months later, it turned out that when I bought a one-time service, I activated a subscription for PLN 214 per month.

Negative: none

Summary: Dodgy company. Support don't help or speak once they tell you you've been scammed and done your cash. Don't do it. Hopeless.

Positive: Nothing. Its a dodgy cheap website. Uploads were quick though but thats cause they want your money to scam you

Negative: They don't tell you theres a charge. Comes up in a free google search. Then you upload document and go to download they ask you to pay one of 3 options. I took cheapest and limited access.
8 days later they are stealing 76 dollars from my account after I thought I had 1 dollar to get the one download I needed. Support cancel when I call and email but no refund. 77 dollars for one document.

Summary: Dishonest business scheme aimed at scamming people. A classical manipulation technique is implemented by their help desk, bombarding you with attention in the meantime, not addressing the real problem.

Positive: Overall, a good product, all the functions of Adobe Acrobat PDF editor are implemented. Easy to use.

Negative: Not for free, as being marketed. Moreover, after a trial payment advertised as a one-time payment, I was immediately charged with 49,99 eur for "renewed subscription" which they conveniently withdrew without my approval from my PayPall account. Once contacted, they replied: "We understand this may be disappointing, but according to our Refund Policy, payments made through our website are non-refundable. Therefore, we are unable to process a refund, as this is consistent with the policies outlined in our Money-Back"

Summary: 10/10 DO NOTTT recommend!!!!!!!! Use another sight !!!! Customer support is a nightmare. If you want to deal with them over the course of weeks to get anything canceled at all… then go ahead!

Positive: Literally nothing. Use another sight… they will continue to charge your cards $50 every few days, even though you haven’t signed up for anything. I looked them up on Reddit and tons of other people say the same thing happened to them. I’ve been emailing support CONSTANTLY and they can’t “find my account” even though I am providing them my account info as well as the card they have charged over 5 times.

Summary: Do not use them it doesn't even work!! This company is just a scam to get money out of you

Positive: N/A.

Negative: They say free but then con you out of 50€ with some very small print at the bottom of the page, no refund!!!

Summary: The address in Cyprus says it all.
No agreement has been reached yet. I have asked these crooks to immediately provide me with proof of contract conclusion, proof of payment, and the results of the technical inspection according to Section 67 of the Telecommunications Act.
They can't do that. Because they're scammers.
Update
Now they're even claiming they've refunded all payments!
They're no longer responding to emails either.

Positive: One star is too many.
I never signed up for a subscription here. It was hidden on the website. I paid for a year!
One star is still too many. These are scammers. They charge 99 cents and lure you into a subscription trap.
No agreement has been reached yet. I guess I'll have to go through a lawyer.
Unfortunately, you really can't see that you're signing up for a subscription. It looks like it costs €0.99. I strongly warn against this company; you're just being ripped off.

Negative: That they took my money.

Summary: They operate hiding information about the fact we will be charged. Also impossible to find the option to cancel your subscription on the website.

FRAUD

Positive: Nothing. They hide critical information to steal money. There was no disclaimer about how much I would pay or if I would pay anything

Negative: Don’t use it. It’s a fraudulent website.
Not good tool and very focused on stealing money

Summary: Worst experience I had and it’s a scam please be aware of this company and save your money from this

Positive: I hope everyone avoids this and doesn’t get to the trap and loose their money for a company I won’t trust anymore

Negative: It’s the worst at all as I thought it was a week access then was shocked by an amount of 49.99 was taken off my account and when I asked for refund they refused
Avoid this to be on the safe side

Summary: Run like the wind, they will debit your account without empathy or care, it’s a scam, pure and simple.

Positive: It works but you will pay, and dearly! Smokes and mirrors people and horrendous customer service. Gfy 🖕

Negative: It isn’t purchasing a one time purchase ($1.99) like it seems, it’s a subscription and after the first week you are charged $50 usd, this company is the worst, hidden terms and conditions and they are proud of that fact, pathetic
