“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.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! It is 100% a scam; after you authorized a payment of 1,95 euros, they charge 40 euros at the end of the month. I could not even download the document! I had to contact Paypal to cancel the "subscription" I didn't sign up for and already reported the company; I can't even believe they get to use Paypal to scam people! There are some positive reviews on Trustpilot, and it is 100% them; they are masters at scamming!

DO NOT USE PDF SIMPLI IS A SCAM!!!

If you're considering using PDFSIMPLI, I would strongly urge you to look elsewhere. My experience with their customer service has been nothing short of appalling. I've been hung up on multiple times while trying to resolve issues—talk about unprofessionalism.

When I attempted to cancel my subscription, the cancellation confirmation email conveniently arrived only after the renewal payment had gone through. This is a system flaw and a shady business practice designed to lock you in financially.

No Receipt or Payment History: To add insult to injury, there was no way to pull a receipt or payment history from my account. They didn't even send a payment confirmation via email. You're left without proof, making it impossible to dispute any charges with them.

I tried calling their customer service countless times to sort this out, but it seems like they've made themselves intentionally unreachable.

In light of this awful experience, I cannot stress enough how much better Adobe is as an alternative. Not only is it cheaper, but it also offers reliable and efficient service, which is the complete opposite of what you can expect from PDFSIMPLI.

Stay away from PDFSIMPLI if you value your time, money, and peace of mind!

Software does not work and the customer service does not want to cancel the subscription, especially when you called it in, and they will renew the subscription ASAP and charge you $ 39.95 and when you cancel through paypal you WILL NOT receive any refund from them! Do a chargeback though your PAYPAL account and credit card as these people a totally dishonest! BEWARE and do not waste your money on this garbage!

I requested pdf download and received a DocX. Cannot select to create a picture inside the pdf and move it around like I can edit with an image editor

Reason I chose this business:

Wanted to try pdf editing to simplify document changes instead of needing to create a new document entirely when the change could just be a name typo or similar minor thing

When previewing my document it looks nothing like what Ive been working on. The doc itself freezes frequently and when reaching out to customer service, one bad apple, Amit K spoils the experience and is a bad representative of the company. CHat is available 24hrs in the US, however, he cut off the chat and now I am not access to assistance, without having to fill out a form. This program is a gimmick, when you get to the end, you no longer can do ANYTHING! BECAUSE IT FREEZES IN PLACE AND REBOOTING DOES NOT HELP. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME, SEARCH OTHER REUTTABLE SOURCES FOR PDF EDITABLE.

Hello,

Thank you for leaving us a review. Registering to our website, editing and converting is completely free and so is downloading the text version of the document in our editor.

To download the file in all other formats or print the converted document, then an active paid subscription is needed, which you can cancel at any time. Our product is very competitively priced when compared to our competitors.

To try our product for free only for one file, you have to choose the “Delayed” option and wait 24 hours for your document.

Thank you,

PDF Simpli

I paid for their pdf software opener. It did not work on my phone or laptop. Their email to you says you have 30 days to cancel and get a refund. I paid
A total of $41.90. I kept trying to get their software to work. I called them within LESS than the 30 days they require for a refund, explaining over and over to a woman named Mili that their software has never worked on my phone and laptop. She was rude. Abrasive and constantly interrupted me saying I should have called earlier! And will only give me a partial refund even tho I never got to use their product. I explained that I could not use my laptop until the just recently, and their email says YOU HAVE 30 days to cancel and get a refund. She told me I can have a partial refund or NO REFUND! I asked to speak to a supervisor twice and she said they don't talk to the customers, I asked for the corporate phone number and she said you are speaking to it. I asked to speak with someone else and she rudely said call back. I Explained that it's not fair that a customer pays for their service and their product does not work and they only get a partial refund and she said she had other customers to talk to and she hung up.I also emailed and left a voicemail with their company much earlier explaining that I could not get it to work and asked them to help me but never got a response from them.
