    Absolute scam

    Date: Dec 22 2025
    Summary

    Very very very bad and disappointing. I want my money back. Stupid customer service only keeps asking for my bank accounts which they already have since they took my money

    Positive

    Nothing good about Zendocs. They let you pay 0,99 cents but then charge you 24,99 for a subscription

    Negative

    Absolute scam. No where it says you automatically agree to a monthly’s subscription by paying 0,99 cents. Internet is full of bad reviews. Shame on you for scamming people this way. Customer service is fake and keeps asking for the same information over and over again.

    Converting images into pdf.

    Date: Dec 17 2025
    Summary

    I had several photos from an event that needed to go out to the client. Through ZenDocs, I converted all of my images to a single PDF within minutes. None of the images blurred, and the distribution process became very simple.

    Positive

    The conversion preserved image quality, allowed for batch upload, and output PDFs were easy to share.

    Negative

    Could include optional compression during the conversion.

    Decent PDF editor

    Date: Oct 15 2025
    Summary

    Attempted editing a scanned worksheet and succeeded, but it took a minute to locate the correct button. A simple tip for new users would be appreciated.

    Positive

    Editing was good, although the interface could be made clearer in places. A few labels and icons weren't made clear immediately, although generally everything worked neatly once I'd got familiar with it.

    Negative

    New users could perhaps be helped faster by a small tutorial popup explaining key features straight away.

    Password-protecting files

    Date: Dec 19 2025
    Summary

    I had to protect some sensitive financial reports before sharing them. ZenDocs easily let me password-protect PDFs and distribute them safely. The process was easy and reliable.

    Positive

    Setting the passwords was easy. The encryption was reliable and protected multiple documents at once.

    Negative

    Add a function for suggestions to generate strong passwords.

    This made textbook reading easier.

    Date: Nov 20 2025
    Summary

    It has totally revolutionized the way I organize my study materials; instead of being stuck with some monolithic PDFs, I can curate exactly what I need. Simple but powerful tools have made my study sessions so much more efficient.

    Positive

    I love the split and merge functions of this software. I can take a huge textbook PDF, split out only the chapters that I need for my class, and combine them with my own notes to make one custom study guide. It is very empowering.

    Negative

    The only minor gripe I have is that the page load times are a couple of seconds longer after uploading a very large file, such as a 300-page textbook. It isn't a deal-breaker, per se, but it has been noticed.

    Great for document cleanup

    Date: Oct 22 2025
    Summary

    I've tidied up dirty old business reports with ZenDocs. Removing pages was really easy, and the outcome was clean and ready for storage.

    Positive

    The delete pages feature is a gem. It's simple to get rid of unnecessary pages and save a cleaner, more compact PDF version.

    Negative

    it could benefit from a smoother and more precise preview zoom while editing pages

    Accurate OCR, but little hiccups.

    Date: Nov 27 2025
    Summary

    I scanned a stack of meeting handouts and ran OCR to make them searchable. For typed pages, the results were excellent, and it significantly expedited searching. Some handwritten annotations weren't captured reliably, which made a quick manual check necessary. Overall, a strong OCR tool for printed material with a small caveat about handwriting capture.

    Positive

    In general, it accurately identified printed text and converted it to a searchable PDF quickly. Multi-page OCR batches worked well and preserved document structure.

    Negative

    Handwritten notes were less consistent-a gentle reminder about handwriting limits upfront would be useful. Also, a preview step for OCR results before finalizing would reduce the occasional small text errors.

    Efficient for legal documents

    Date: Nov 25 2025
    Summary

    I had to file a motion with over a dozen exhibits. I used ZenDocs to merge them all, and then compress the final file to meet the upload limit of the portal. That was a really smooth process; it saved me from having to go to the office to use the high-end scanner and software.

    Positive

    The capability of securely handling multi-page legal exhibits and combining them into one PDF is invaluable.

    Negative

    Initial upload for a very large set of documents may take a minute or two, so you need to be a little patient.

    Quick convert to multiple formats

    Date: Dec 08 2025
    Summary

    I converted several financial reports in Excel, which could then be analyzed. Most of the formatting remained intact, making data extraction quick. Some tables required light tweaking, but overall, it saved hours in the conversion workflow compared to manual entry.

    Positive

    PDF conversion to Word, Excel, and images was reliable, with mostly retained formatting; batch conversions saved a considerable amount of time.

    Negative

    The most complex tables did need minor readjustments after conversion, but a small preview function would have helped double-check the accuracy before export.

    Simple pdf merging tool

    Date: Oct 20 2025
    Summary

    I've been using ZenDocs to manage monthly reports for months. PDF merging is quick and solid, and I appreciate how it keeps track of my previous settings. Great for repetitive work.

    Positive

    I used ZenDocs to combine several invoices into one document. The experience was fast, simple, and the file turned out clean and tidy.

    Negative

    It could include a couple more color schemes for the interface

    Fast sign and return workflow

    Date: Dec 01 2025
    Summary

    I finalized a freelance contract using the sign pdf flow. The signature placement was easy, and the exported signed PDF looked professional. An integrated minimal audit note would be welcome for formal contracts, but the speed and clarity of signature placement made the entire signing step painless and fast.

    Positive

    Signing PDFs was quick with an intuitive signature tool and the ability to place initials or full signatures anywhere on the document. Signed copies were stamped with date and could be downloaded in multiple versions.

    Negative

    It would also be very useful if the signed file contained a small audit trail of the signing timestamp and IP metadata by default for formal agreements. That would add comfort for higher-stakes documents.

    Good but could be faster

    Date: Oct 21 2025
    Summary

    I use it mostly to sign and send contracts. Works well, but can see improvement in performance dealing with large PDFs. Nonetheless, good experience overall.

    Positive

    ZenDocs is easy to navigate and has straightforward layout, making it easy to use for a beginner. The sign pdf tool performs as needed.

    Negative

    Merged my proposal smoothly.

    Date: Nov 13 2025
    Summary

    This saved me so much time on a tight deadline. Instead of wrestling with printer settings and a scanner, I just uploaded all the separate files, dragged them into order, and clicked merge. The entire process took two minutes and the result was exactly what I needed.

    Positive

    The merge PDF function is flawless. I had to combine a cover letter, a project quote, and several reference pages into one document for a client proposal. It handled the different page orientations and sizes perfectly, creating a clean, professional-looking file ready for sending.

    Negative

    It would be nice to have the possibility of reviewing just before finalizing the merge, just to double-check the page order once more. You can reorder before merging, but a final preview would add that extra peace of mind.

    Smooth merge for client presentations

    Date: Dec 08 2025
    Summary

    I compiled a number of client presentation files into one PDF-the result preserved links and formatting nice, and I avoided manually copying slides. It would be good if there was a thumbnail preview, but overall it streamlined preparation.

    Positive

    Slides and documents could be merged into one PDF rapidly, while showing consistent formatting and retaining hyperlinks.

    Negative

    Adding a small thumbnail preview of all pages would help confirm the order before merging large decks.

    Great for compressing huge slide decks

    Date: Dec 02 2025
    Summary

    I had to send several decks of slides to a client for review and used Compress PDF to do this rather quickly. Slides were still easy to read, and internal links still worked. Using a preset for email quality would streamline things, but the manual slider gave control to maintain readability.

    Positive

    Compress PDF brought a 30MB slide deck under email limits while keeping visuals readable and preserving the hyperlinks. Batch compressing for several decks saved me from running repeated conversions.

    Negative

    It would be handy to have named presets like "email", "web", and "print" that set compression vs. quality automatically; being able to select levels manually is fine, but presets would save time.

    Simple secure password protection

    Date: Dec 03 2025
    Summary

    I password-protected sensitive HR documents before sending them via email. The encryption was simple and secure; printing and editing permissions were easy to set. Having predefined templates for regular actions would be very nice, but in general, the whole process was secure and easy.

    Positive

    Password-protect PDF added a layer of security quickly, while encryption was reliable and customizable; permissions, like view vs. print, worked well.

    Negative

    Some might prefer predefined security templates for standard workflows, so they are not guessing each time.

    Smooth split and extract pages

    Date: Nov 28 2025
    Summary

    I have prepared excerpts for several colleagues by splitting a long manual into topic-specific PDFs. Extraction and renaming were straightforward, and I could deliver neat files to each team member without extra formatting. The operation saved time and avoided manual copying into new files, which was really convenient for a busy day.

    Positive

    The splitting of larger documents into sections was intuitive: I could extract any pages and save the selections as separate PDFs with specified file names. The drag-and-drop reorder UI made it easier to organize extracted pages.

    Negative

    Adding a small batch naming template for extracted page sets would help when making many small files for different recipients; it’s a helpful convenience feature rather than a necessity.

    Summary

    I was applying to multiple roles and needed to tweak my resume often. ZenDocs kept it simple and consistent. definitely reliable for busy jobseekers.

    Positive

    I use it informally to merge lesson notes. No frills, but it never fails. Might just need a bit of polish to look nicer.

    Date: Oct 23 2025
    Summary

    I used it to edit an old manual. The Word conversion worked fine, just a bit slower than expected. Still, solid value for quick jobs.

    Positive

    ZenDocs allows fast pdf to word conversion with formatting preserved, not usual in free applications.

    Negative

    Conversion time can be long depending on larger files.
