Conversion result was horrible
My trial period was automatically set to a monthly subscription of 49€, ripped off!!

This company doesn't deserve even one star. It is shocking how easily they can trap you into unwittingly having a subscription with them thinking you have paid for a one off document. They refuse to accept any responsibility and keep quoting their online terms which are not obvious. It is robbery by another name. Please don't get caught out like me.

I hate them. I already am frustrated writing my thesis sleepless and after trimming a pdf, i have to give them my e-mail. not cool. so i give them my data and next thing you know, they ask for money

ASK FOR MONEY UPFRONT. I HATE WHEN I HAVE TO INVEST TIME AND HAVE TO GIVE MY DATA AND ON TOP HAVE TO PAY MONEY

they legit just wanna bait you. I hate them, thank god i used a trashmail, because that's what they are. Trash

Lees goed de kleine lettertjes
Dit riekt naar oplichting

I got scammed today, and found out that they have been charging my card without me know for the past 2 months after using their one off service. No email confirmation, nothing was sent to me, its ridiculous, STAY AWAY!!!!

This company uses a misleading subscription model.

They are sold 3 days of premium access, but after that you are automatically enrolled into an expensive monthly subscription (around $60) without a clear warning, reminder, or explicit confirmation.

I only needed the service for three days and did not plan to continue using it. The charge was made unexpectedly. When I contacted support immediately, the refund was refused, with the explanation that payments are “non-refundable according to policy.”

This company lures you with impossibly low charged of less than $2 for "lifetime" subscription, then charges you $49.99 a month using clauses in their small print. The email addresses on their website are fake - connected to nothing and otherwise reputable companies like Paypal are enablers who should blacklist them immediately

Not a trustworthy company, ticks you to auto sign a high prices subscription, very expensive, 100% cancellation rate. DO NOT USE or TRUST this company

When I signed up for trial there was no information on the email that I would be automatically signed up to 49.99 annual subscription. When I contacted the company they gave me the link from their website that I had signed up and was not due a refund.

DON'T GO THERE! I used pdfguru for the small fee of £0.99 and cancelled the next day to avoid the subscription as described on the website. The website informed me my subscription had been cancelled but they proceeded to and continued to charge the monthly subscription (£39.99). It has taken me numerous messages (mostly with AI bots!) until I finally got confirmation that my subscription had been cancelled BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED TO REFUND THE MONEY THEY STOLE.

The hidden subscription fees are buried in the terms and conditions. Read carefully before op in!!

I also got trapped into a subscription…
I also got trapped into a subscription package for 49.99. I didn’t think I’d subscribed but they told me I had. Avoid! WATCH OUT THEY ARE BIG SCAMMERS

Beware, SCAM!
They lure you in offering their service at $0.99, and a week later they land a charge of $49.99 (not $50, God forbid...) on you, without any previous warning.
Then all complaints are answered by bots, claiming charges are non-refundable.
There should be some legal customer protection from such cheaters!!

I’m extremely angry and disappointed. I paid only $0.99 to convert ONE PDF, and then I got a “confirmation” email saying I’d be charged $49.90 after 7 days. I cancelled the same day the renewal hit and asked for a refund, and they refused.

This wasn’t clearly disclosed upfront, and I did not knowingly agree to any subscription. It feels like a bait-and-switch: cheap one-time use, then a surprise charge tied to my payment method.

I never intended to sign up for a subscription, and I consider this unethical and unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend this service—avoid it.

And yes—there are better options. Depending on what you need (convert, edit, combine, compress, sign), here are solid alternatives:

Adobe Acrobat Pro (most reliable “do everything” option: convert/edit/organize/OCR/sign)

Adobe Acrobat online tools (quick one-offs; some free, some paid, but clearer branding)

Foxit PDF Editor (strong Acrobat alternative—often cheaper)

PDF-XChange Editor (Windows-friendly, powerful, usually good value)

Nitro PDF Pro (common in business environments)

Smallpdf / iLovePDF (convenient for quick tasks—just double-check the plan/trial screen before paying)

Senioren, PAS OP! Je denkt dat je $ 0,99 betaalt voor 1 pdf.
Hun advertentie benadrukt hun kosten niet. Ze verbergen hun maandelijkse kosten van $ 49,99 voor je. Geen herinneringen. Ze blijven je gewoon maand na maand $ 49,99 in rekening brengen. Als je contact met hen opneemt voor een terugbetaling omdat je nooit gebruik hebt gemaakt van hun dienst, zeggen ze dat dit in strijd is met hun beleid. Ze bieden twee jaar gratis aan als troost, omdat ze weten dat je bent opgelicht. Ik zou ze nooit vertrouwen voor welke deal dan ook.

Beware! This is a scam and fraudulent website with unexpected hidden charges. On the front is $0.99 fee for a pdf and then hidden follow-up charges. The details of 7-days plan are berried somewhere and there is no reminder for renewal or cancellation afterward. You would see unexpected charges afterward in your credit card transactions.

The PDF Guru is also the same as PDF PAW and APDF GURU. All these sites are from the same criminals. They are absolute frauds. Do NOT fall for their scams. They should be found and prosecuted.

SCAM.
Seniors BEWARE! You think you are paying $.99 for 1 pdf.
Their advertisement does not emphasize their charges. They hide their $49.99 a month fee from you. No reminders. They just keep charging you $49.99 month after month. When you contact them for a refund because you never used their service, they say it's against their policies. They offer two years free as a consolation, because they know that you were scammed. I would never trust them for any deal.

A typical BAIT and SWITCH. They don't care about quality customer service. As a tech friend or coworker for a better and safer way to make a pdf.

BEWARE!!!!!!

It's a fraud ! Do not enter any payment information!!!
The site and description are falsy, and present the fee a a UNIQUE fee, you will pay in order to download just this single file you are working on. Instead of that, you get charge every month without notice!!! I had no idea I got created an "account" on that site, no email about a subscription or coming fees ! When you see it it's too late already!!! They already robbed you of 50 euros ! It's a complete scam ! Just run !

A EVITER !! ce sont des voleurs !!
