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.
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.
Wasted hours of my time and literally steals money. This site should be taken down. Do NOT use this piece of crap disguised as a "service" it's nothing more than a scam.

After I completed my edit, when I converted my page it was horrible. And nothing I saved was correct.

The site is fairly easy to use & delivers quality conversions-- at least for Word to. Pdf.
I didn't like that their "free" conversions as offered on their website, is a come-on or BAIT/ Switch; once they have you in the conversion process, they suddenly throw out that the Trial for their product is $1.95.
So yes, free until you upload & want to get back your page(s).
A new disagreement & chickensh** dispute/ unauthorized charge claim I am working on today through Paypal vs. them.
Before my trial date has expired (signed up on 4/17/21-- have receipt copy) someone decided to work on Sunday & billed the full month's renewal fee of $39.95 fr my Paypal account (today: 5/2/2021.)
My goal w/ this company will be to write a barely acceptable review- factually based, then begin to battle over their premature charges.
I've documented the info on Paypal as an unauthorized charge & will have to spend time disputing the BS & writing minimally 2 online reviews!
Oh well, war is hell.
(For now, screenshots are held in my possession.)

My frustration has grown because of internet companies advertising free products that aren't free at all. They're very expensive in most cases considering how basic the software is. Nearly every time I've attempted one of these trails without fail all get charged days even sometimes even weeks early before what was presented and explained in the trial. I always pay attention and do screen prints the last two times, but I still encountered issues.
It's simple, these companies don't believe in their product or its value compared to the price they're charging. I'm sure hundreds if not thousands of these companies have stayed afloat, purely by employing this business model. I know there are people out there like me who charge everything and pay their credit card off each month, but also get busy and don't enjoy the task of going through the monotony of going through an itemized bill that sometimes has nearly 100 charges. Half the time it doesn't help because the companies don't even charge by the actual name.
For a good laugh check out the company's website that rated them 4 stars called "Trust Pilot" it's a scam too. I wanted to read their PDFSimpi reviews but it also wanted my info, email, name, address, and phone number so I put a bunch of bogus in. A screen popped up and said, "Thank you, someone, will be contacting you shortly"?!?! What! All I want to do is read reviews lol

I purchased the software to create a short simple pdf fillable form. pdfsimpli.com did not work. The on line chat person kept giving me the exact same instruction that did not work. I had my co-worker try think it may be my problem, but he couldn't get it to work either. I told the chat person to cancel the service since it did not work. I took screen shoots of my request as verification of the request to cancel. Pdfsimpli didn't cancel the order and billed a set-up fee and monthly reoccurring fee. When I called to cancel I was only allowed to leave a message that would be returned within 24-hours. I called nine times and never received a return call. I finally reach a live person, and they said todays call was my first call and would only refund, 1 monthly fee. I said I could e-mail the chat conversation and screen shots of my cell phone call log proving I had called weekly. The girl called me a liar and hung up.

Consumers should be protected from scam companies like PDFsimpli. They charged me 39.95 euros twice EVEN when I had received an account cancellation email. YOU SHOULD NEVER USE IT. IT SHOULD NOT BE FREE ON THE INTERNET. NEVER PLACE YOUR CREDIT CARD.THEY WILL CONTINUE CHARGING MORE THAN 40$ A MONTH JUST FOR USING IT FOR WRTITTING FEW DOCUMENTS

I didnt notice it has been charging me for 5 months so I just wasted 200$ on this scam site for again...ONE PDF
I hope everyone else is smarter to at least look at the reviews before signing up and see this one

Showing up in a search for a free PDF editor then charging, and later charging an exorbitant fee per month on the assumption that people will forget to cancel, is pretty scummy.
Because I have a 100 degree fever and need to send this document to my health insurance company, and I'm too tired to go looking for another one. I need to go to bed.

Some tools are extremely slow, especially the page editing tool. There should be a way to set the default style of a tool so one doesn't have to set thickness and color every single time.
I thought it was a free service. I was wrong, but at least it wasn't too expensive.

This site is a scam! User beware of hidden fees! Recurring charges of 39.95 after the initial 1.95. This information is not clear when signing up. Please don't get scammed like I did!

The conversions are terrible. I would have given it a 0 if I could. The least they could do is send a reminder that you're going to be billed. The site should be taken down.

Hello,
We're sorry to hear about your recent experience. To try our product for free only for one file, you have to choose the “Delayed” option. This option allows you to convert and wait 24 hours for your document to be able to download or pay for our 14 day trial (for $1.45 or $1.95) to get your file immediately. We hope this can be of assistance.
Once they have your account, this company charges indiscriminately on your credit card. Customer Service is rude... no way you can cancel the charges once the invoice gets sent! Beware!

1) Wasn't even able to open a simple PDF, which given the name of this software, is a disgrace
2) Charged me $1.95 for the "free trial" in TWO separate transactions on my AmEx card (I can only imagine why)
3) Their onsite refund requesting is close to unuseable
4) They want to charge USD $40 a month for this ridiculous abuse. NO sane person would knowingly agree, given the much lower cost of much better and non-abusive alternatives
So, we all know about SaaS - Software as a Service. Let's call this one "BaaS" - Business as a Scam.

AVOID.

Having once only used the pdf transfer for a paltry sum of less than £2, I have discovered that I am being billed £29,95 every month by the company which has the cheek to call itself "LEGALSIMPLISOFTWARE".
I never willingly or knowingly entered any agreement with them other than the one off transaction, so
BE AWARE. Once you give your card details you may end up being scammed as I was!
