    I can't give this zero stars or I would.

    Summary

    HORRIBLE!, I was counting on using this to fill 1099's for my company and it is impossible to navigate and see what forms you are actually creating.

    Positive

    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! This is the worst pdf editor I have ever used! After logging in a couple times, it actually seems more like a scam. I screwed up and let the free trial expire and they billed me $71.88.
    DO NOT USE THIS PROGRAM.

    Negative

    Impossible to edit and see what you are writing or place it in the correct place on a form. NO PASSWORD - you get sent a link every time you want to log into your account.
    WAY over priced for crap.

    I want my money back!!

    Updated: Oct 24 2024
    Summary

    Very angry that they won't respond. I also left a voicemail in addition to two emails. I'm working on a dispute with my credit card company, but they told me it probably won't work because I missed the deadline.
    Update: I finally heard back from them this morning. Apparently, I didn't receive a response email from them? The matter has been handled now, but they are still not giving me back the entire amount for forgetting to cancel. I'm still paying $20 out of the $71.88.

    Positive

    The one time I used it, I was compressing a .pdf file and it worked fine. I signed up for the one-week free trial.

    Negative

    I missed the cut-off to cancel by one day. I don't want to use this anymore. They answered my first email.

    PDF.live sucks!

    Updated: Jan 10 2023
    Summary

    It should not be this difficult to print off anything in this blasted PDF.live!You have every @#$! Button except print. When I do see a print button it tells me I have unlimited "access" to print for 7 days (only). What gives with this!

    Positive

    None! There are no pros. In using PDF.live. It is ridiculously and stupidly designed!!! The only thing i'm finding it produces is anger and anxiety!

    Negative

    I have a paid subscription to superteachers and PDF.live is terminally attached to it and won't let me simply print out my lessons!

    If I could recommend less than 1 as a recommendation for this product, I would!

    Summary

    I deactivated my account about 3 months ago but I get notified every month that my bank account has been charged by PDF Live. I have severally tried to reach someone of their phone number provided online but don't cant get an real person to talk to, it takes me to a voicemail. They are a complete scam and I have reported them to my bank.

    Positive

    None. I can't say I like anything about PDF Live. They keep charging my bank account 3 months after I deactivated my account.

    Negative

    Charging my bank account after deactivation.
