“I love that this program is easy to use and understand”

Henry Y.
9/12/24

I love that this program is easy to use and understand. However, it should be clearer that the subscription price goes up after 2 weeks and you will be charged a significantly larger amount after that period.

“Completely a Scam! Paid $2 for a pdf and secretly subscribe you for $40/month”

Ivy Y.
11/16/24

I paid $2 to download one pdf and turned out they automatically subscribed me for $40/month. Don't tell me it's transparent, when they charge me every month, I never receive a invoice nor receipt. Just charge my visa until I found out months later. Such a SCAMP. It is even more expensive than Adobe pdf editor. No not ever give your credit card number to it.

The ad said free, which was a hook once they got your Facebook info and then charged you

In 11-21, while unemployed, I had to sign up for PDF Simpli to sign a single document. I then found temp employment and the company provides. Pdf software. Not surprisingly, I forgot to close my account on PDF Simpli (that's the game, right?). I asked them to refund from 12-21 and their policy allows for only 1 month of refund. Other software providers have been more forgiving. I will not use PDF Simpli again.

Very misleading. I looked up free programs to edit and they advertised as free but as soon as I was done editing I had to pay to download my documents and print them.

Reason I chose this business:

Because I thought it was free but I was lied to.

Total scam, product didn't work (converting pdf to fillable pdf), I paid for a one time use-.99- then was charged $39.99 which American Express declined and then they tried running the charge as a different company and it went through. Horrible customer service rep was yelling ME, because I was upset at being scammed. Run don't walk from these scammers!

This is a scam: you advertise it as free, but then charge for the service at the very end after the user has spent significant time creating the document. Then, if that weren't enough, you will charge an exorbitant rate each month until the user cancels.

Reason I chose this business:

It was supposed to be free.
I did not realize that it was a scam.

Started to use the site. It said completely free. I loaded the document then it wants me to pay. Very slick! So, if you pay $1.95 you get the "trial" for 14 days. But you better watch out for the renewal since if you forget, you pay about $39.00 a month! If you do the annual plan and forget the price goes up by more than 1000%! I can't say anything about the quality as I backed out when I saw the fine print. I then looked at legitimate reviews and they were ALL bad!

It was advertised as a free trial but only editing the first document on screen is free. To actually save and send the pdf to someone it is $1.45. OK no problem. Paying $1.45 for a onetime edit to a pdf I have to sign and send is no big deal. Make sure you close the account and get confirmation that the account is closed before that not so free trial is up though because it is autobilled at $39.95 per month after that. Even adobe only charges $15/month or less if you go yearly.

Convert PDF to Word [Free]misleading publicity. We go through the whole process, then we are forced to create an account, and one more step and we are forced to pay to have the document converted. Which would be OK, if it weren't for the misleading advertising (FREE!). I don't mind paying but I can't stand being cheated.

Used this website for one project and one project only,
Costing $1.59, to later find out I signed up for a membership. Couldnt be any more shady as I would never of. And They proceeded to charge me $44/Month for the next 8 Months until Error was caught.
And basically told me to shove it. And did nothing to rectify the issues, as they could see out of the 8 months i paid for it, Never logged on or used it once! Satisfaction guaranteed my $#*!!
They have a refund / cancellation page that guarantees customer satisfaction, that couldn't be farther from the truth!

A scam and a catch 22. They'll entice a busy you by offering a free trial for $1.95, knowing that you probably won't read a fine print that automatically charges your account $39.95 every four weeks. I caught it after a few days though and the chat person responded, "We refunded your payment and it should be in your bank account within 7 to 14 days depending on your bank. We also canceled your account from our end." When I didn't see the refund, the chat person assured me of a full refund if I submit "1. Transaction Receipt, 2. Date of the transaction, 3. Amount of the transaction, 4. PayPal email charged", which is a head-scratcher since they must have all these. But all they wanted was proof from me that I was charged more than a month ago, ergo that I was not entitled to a refund - a CATCH 22, since I had only a chat conversation as proof of cancellation!

The conversion of tabulated text in a pdf to a word docx does not work.
All data ends up in a single column.
The 14 day trial is charged af 1.95 but this is a subscription and you must cancel or get billed 39 monthly.
That model of subscription billing is in most people's minds a scam. Especially so if the product does not work so it's a lure and a trap.
Advice, cancel immediately and get your card stopped andcrtplaced so they cannot gouge you.
A very American business model. This behaviour is disgusting to civilised people. Time to grow up guys and treat people decently.

I paid for this service to make a PDF and began noticing a charge of $40 on my account shortly after. Once I noticed this charge I cancelled the service. Now two months later I am still being charged for a service that I am not using. STAY AWAY from this site, they unethically use your card information and bill you even after you cancel.

You cancel your subscription and they lie to you and charge you anyways then continue and lie to you and send you on a wild goose chase, I had to have PayPal fix this as they tried to steal money from me. I literally had support agents from this site mock me and lie to my face to avoid giving me my money back from their unauthorized charge.

This piece of crap doesn't work so I canceled it the same day. To my surprise, I was billed today for $39.99. The rudest man on the phone told me I did not cancel it until today and was asking if I received a notification. Hello, you guys intentionally give notification, so you can renew it again and jacked us up with a paid subscription. I man on the phone was mad that I blocked you guys from Paypal, so I am not not eligible for refund.

Simply put: I created a contract, sent out for signature, got it signed, and couldn't keep a copy for myself. I reached technical support - they don't let you keep a copy of your own contract! You have to ask everyone who signed to bother emailing you back a copy of their contract."Hey thanks for signing. The website I used for your contract cannot authorize me to keep a copy. Can you send one to me?" AVOID.
