PDFSimpli Reviews

Summary: Difficult to use. Constantly got messages “file to big” or something similar. After hours of trying, my manual failed to upload and convert.

Positive: No pros. I tried to convert a manual to a pdf document. All my efforts were met with “file too big” or something to that effect. I abandoned all efforts. Two weeks later they scammed $59 off me

Negative: Took $59 out of my PayPal account without authorization. I never signed up for any subscription service. As a principal, I never do. Now I have problems getting my money back. Many others suffer are in the same boat. Their service also failed to convert my document even after I paid for it.

Summary: Horrible. I feel like I was scammed for $49. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Not easy to use either

Positive: It was easy to download. There really are not any more positive things to say about this product. Wish there was

Negative: It was glitchy, Wayyyyyy too expensive ! Does NOT give you options for different highlighter color which is CRAZY for the price of $49 per month.

Summary: dishonest company. I would never continue with a company that used dishonest tactics to get money out from me. As far as I can say, that will be the last money they see from me again.

Positive: you can edit pdfs which is what i needed so it did the job..... BUT its not worth £49.00 being stolen from your account under the guise of small print.

Negative: being charged £49.00 after paying £1.99, not obvious that I was going to be charged £49.00

Summary: On August 4 2024 their site popped up to me as a free pdf service. Nevertheless, to edit some files and download them I had to create a free account and pay 1,45 euros which I paid.
2 weeks later I received a PayPal charge for an automatic payment of 39,95 euros. I found out that if I hadn't discovered it early and canceled I would be charged every month.
On their Facebook page there are numerous complaints by other deceived victims with a similar experience.
I emailed them and they refused to refund me because I closed my account. I hope I don't get any other surprises from them.
Stay away from them if you don't want to lose your money.
It isn't only about the 39,95 euros that I lost. It's because of their unethical, unprofessional tactics. How do they sleep at night knowing that they feed their kids with money they have stolen from other families?

Positive: Nothing. They are scammers who are going to steal your money. They advertise as free service, then charge for their service. Finally, charge every month without your consent.

Negative: They are scammers. Unauthorized charges which they refuse to refund.

Summary: It is unethical business. How could you charge customers money without permission? I’m going to file a claim!

Positive: None I can think of. I did not use its service at all. This is a shame they charge me 40 dollars without my permission.

Negative: Charge me $40 after a month without my authorization. This is disgusting and a scam. Try to call them but no one answered my phone call.

Summary: The worst app, they professionalism is 0, I use the app one time, never get any email about subscriptions or any payment, just one day they took from my card around 50$, I contact them and send them email and never get any respond. Customer care is 0, so so bad.

Positive: Nothing, compared to Adobe the are 0, also they professionalism is below zero. Never ever again, choose any other app.

Negative: They don't care about customers just money, they never respond to any of my mails.

Summary: I haven't used this system since the free trial. Shitty company. Employees need training. Not sure if they have more then one person working there. They never return calls, and avoid responsibilities at all costs. They make you choose a time frame that you use this system but they don't offer a "NEVER USE" option. They force you to claim you use and like the services.

Positive: Nothing PRO about this lack luster company. Find somewhere else to spend your money. They are very shady.

Negative: I canceled my free trial in the 14 days and their system kept claiming there was an issue. This company is stealing money from me and they refuse to make it right. I will continue to do what I can so this doesn't keep happening to others that use their services.

Summary: Why pay $600 a month when you could get it for only $24 a month....because they are deceptive and hide this little gotcha in small print below everything. If you're going to disclose it, simply disclose it. I'm sure people will still screw up and they'll get their $600 a year. But I can't work with a deceptive (lie) and sneaky company.

Positive: N/A.

Negative: If I could give 0 stars....advertises as "Free". After they deceive you into creating an account and providing your information they tell you there's a fee. If you sign up for their free trial and don't cancel timely it's $49.95 a month, whereas the normal annual fee is only $24 a month.

Summary: Don't use this. If you have a Mac, just use Apple's "Preview" and it will allow you to fill in forms.

Positive: - Worked the one time I used it
- Signed up for the $1.95 deal which I thought was cheap
- I'm required to make this 100 words and can't think of any other pros

Negative: - Can't reach customer service
- Website won't load anymore
- Automatically signs you up for their subscription program
- Waste of time. If you have a Mac, just use Apple's "Preview" and it will allow you to fill in forms

Summary: Shady way to charge customers.

Positive: N/A.

Negative: I paid $1.45 for a one-time PDF editing service, only to later discover they had sneakily signed me up for a subscription. The small print at the bottom mentioned it would become a subscription, but I didn't notice it. Fourteen days later, they charged my card $39.95 without sending an invoice or reminder that the trial period was ending. They seem to rely on customers forgetting so they can continue charging monthly. Fortunately, I regularly audit my credit card transactions and caught it. This is a very shady business practice. Customers, beware!

Summary: I paid for annual transaction. But they are taking monthly also from my account.

Positive: None.

Negative: Do not like this product. Big scam in my experience. Don't take service.

Summary: Really disappointed by their slimy subscription tactics. It presented as free (not free trial), but only after signing up and editing do you see there is a 14 free trial. But if you want to download anything, you need to pay a single price, or sign up for subscription. Even if you make the single payment they automatically sign you up for monthly subscription (no notification). I really don't mind paying for services if it is communicated properly and honestly beforehand. But these guys are really slimy.
Call centre support (Jenifer) only gives attitude and drops the call.
No respect for them. Will not use again, even if the product itself is good. I don't like their dishonesty.

Positive: Product worked reasonably well, but hate their dishonest strategy to sign you up for subscription if you only use it once, and was willing to pay for the single document download. Slimy payment tactics DON'T USE THIS SERVICE!!

Negative: 1) Advertised as free, but only see that you need to pay after signing up ad editing a doc.
2) Payment options are presented as one time payment for immediate download, or sign up for monthly subscription.
3) Even if you make one time payment, you are placed on 14 day free trial, and automatically charged monthly subscription after that. No option for refunds. No email notifications to state this as they claim.

Summary: It's a scamming application which they attract customer with the fact you can use it for free for a free trial but you are still getting charged and even after you inscribed for the 14 days you will still get charged monthly without notification, permission or invoice. The support invoke all sorts of reasons and even after I show them with screenshots I did not receive any emails or notifications from them they still bluntly ignore it and straight up refuse to refund your money that was taken without permission. Simply scammer practice.

Positive: Very good in helping you modify the PDF. Easy to use and it gets the job done that's how they get you to pay for the 1.95$ "free trial"

Negative: The free trial is not free you are still getting charged $1.95 and after if you pay with your debit card/credit card they charge you without your permission or notification and they don't even leave you an Invoice for what they are charging you.

Summary: Do not trust this company, I set up a 14 day account and cancelled after 2 days, I was billed for 4 months without any email notifications. Their records showed an account since 2020! Only support was via chat bot or off-site automated responses. Would not answer any questions. Very basic UI, UX, not a good product, no support, deliberately evasive.

Positive: Nothing. It's basic.

Negative: I would not recommend this to anyone looking for an online SaaS pdf editor. It comes up first in Google, to be avoided.

Summary: I used their service to convert one document, one time, paid the $1.50 fee, that should have been the end of it, then two weeks later, a $40 charge showed up on my credit card. I never agreed to this. Apparently, your "plan" (like I ever had one) renews automatically at the end of the "trial period" and you're charged. I'm sorry, but any company that uses this tactic where the consumer is charged when they take no action is deceptive, sneaky and dishonest. As a consumer, I should be required to take some action to trigger a transaction. They are taking advantage of the probability that people won't read every last line of text in their terms and conditions, particularly the fine print. Companies that do this are SCUM. They are thieves. The only reason they got one star is because giving them zero was not allowed. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this company and any others that use this auto-charge/auto-renewal GARBAGE. LIARS, CROOKS AND THIEVES IS WHAT THEY ARE!

Positive: Nothing. I regret ever finding this company online. How could I like anything about doing business with a company that is deceptive, sneaky and dishonest?

Negative: They stole from me. They are dishonest, deceptive, sneaky and not to be trusted. They are snakes. Stay away from them.
