They stole €39.95 from me every 4 weeks for a year, without using the software at all. TOTAL Amount 479€
I'm still waiting for a refund for January!
They said they were going to refund more than €20 and so far nothing!!!

NONE. NOTHING! What the application does can be done for free on the NET.

I was not aware of the service being added to my business by a former employee, and when I asked for a courtesy refund for the three months charged, I was immediately denied. I understand their refund rule, but certain circumstances should be an exception.

This service was useless to my needs and no better than PDF Pro.Plus their business practice of refunds should be negotiable.

The service is no better than PDF Pro. The cost of $49.95/month is a rip off.

There is probably some fine print somewhere, as shady companies often do. Even if what they’re doing is technically legal, it feels very dishonest and sneaky.

Please be cautious.

Be very careful with this service.
I filled out one PDF file and paid honestly for a one-time service, which cost around €2. After that, money started being automatically withdrawn from my PayPal account for a subscription. I never agreed to any subscription — only to a single-use service.

Did not like it.

None - just a basic app.

Tricks you into saying you do not have to make an account and after you edit your document it makes you do an account and you have to pay so you can download your document.

Great Experience. I will come back whenever I need the PDF related services without a doubt! Thanks.

I used the paid service once and was charged for a subscription later automatically. When I contacted the support team, they immediately refunded my payment to the card and cancelled the subscription and no question was asked.

None. My experience was smooth. From using the services to customer care.

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.

Nothing. It's basic.

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

This is a shameless company with lemon product. When I realized they charged me I immediately contacted them but they refused to refund the money.

None.

I used the "redact" feature, it actually doesn't really redact the information you want to protect. If you search the information you've redacted, you'll find you can still find it.
Also I paid the service and I was pretty sure I didn't agree to auto renewal, but they still put me on automatically monthly renewal plan, and charged me 20 more days after I stopped using it.

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.

N/A.

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.

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.

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

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.

Nothing is there as positive feedback - never ever deal with them, even you cancel the membership still your money will be looted.

Deducted money from my account without permission.

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.

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!!

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.

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

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

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.

Horrendous, cumbersome, frustrating.

This is the most poo poo application I've used that I paid actual money for.

The fact they only rob you for $1.95, if it was anything more substantial, I'd be making an even bigger stink.

There is not a single "pro" to this application I can think of after using it for AN HOUR to edit FOUR sentences in a PDF.

I hate this thing with a passion. I need to spread the word.

This editor will cause you nothing but frustration. If it wasn't bad enough they do a bait and switch at the front door of "you can edit your thing for FREE" but they don't tell you they are going to make you pay in order to keep or do anything worth a dang with it.

their manipulative - but above that, the product itself is total trash. it will delete random stuff off your document that you haven't touched with their editor. It only has 3 font options (and not even the most commonly used fonts, for that matter) and it wont allow you to put anything overtop of where you've erased in the document - it shows up as big white squares. There is so many bugs and issues its a SHAME they actually launched this piece of garbage and are taking peoples HARD EARNED, REAL LIFE MONEY to use.

Don't waste your money or time. spend the extra couple bucks for a product that ACTUALLY WORKS.

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?

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.

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

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

- 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

- 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

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

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

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.

A good pdf editing platform is completely marred by what can only see as dishonest and misleading info.

Hard pass.

Easy to use. But beware.....the fine print which they very purposely made fine print to "disclose" and yet conceal, is what makes this a crappy deal. If they could just run an honest business!

If you aren't careful they will SOAK you with a recurring "subscription" for ~$39 USD.

You MUST affirmatively communicate with them to cancel. Otherwise they deem that as permission to charge you $39 per renewal period without any further notice.

Their website is designed to downplay that fact and make it seem you are able to do what they highlight (one trial use for $1 or $2).

Never use it.
Stealing people's money in a dirty way.

N/A.

They charged monthly $39 for several months, and I eventually found out from my bank account statements.

This is malware.
The whole program is a big scam, but that's obviously why it was put up.
Hope that's enough warning.

It's worth a maximum of $2 per month, but they send you a bill after 14 days for $39 dollars. That's $480 per year.

Never use them, they will charge you a small amount for the first document and then when they send you an invoice (which was lost in spam in my case), they will mention that they will charge 39,90 usd starting from the next month.

Nothing , just a rubbish online company that found a way of making easy money. Never use that again.

They charged me 40 usd. Yes I know, it’s written in the agreement in small letters. Hope my money made you happy, you robbers.
