PDF Guru Reviews

Summary: I feel I was robbed. This is just an internet scam for the unwary. Beware, and please spread the word

Positive: It did what other free pdf converters do. It is mediocre at best. It exists solely as a basic product to trick people into $50 per month automatic renewal charges

Negative: They steal by hiding a $49.99 MONTHLY automatic review for their mediocre program that you can get for free elsewhere

Summary: Poor on all the fronts. Nothing good to say. Polite customer service that reiterates the fraudulent practice.

Positive: Scam tactics to get subscriptions, which it then won't refund. It is not enough that it charged for the pdf it made, it automatically subscribed me.

Negative: Refusal to refund. Fraudulent practices. Seems legitimate but ultimately a way of scamming people through prescription.

Summary: TERRIBLE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. VERY DECEPTIVE. BUYER BEWARE. YOU WILL BE OUT OF POCKET WAY MORE THAN WHAT YOU THINK

Positive: I purchased a one off limited 7 day access for 0.99 usd. I only required the product for the one time hence why i purchased the lowest possible. Mind you it advertised as FREE conversion but obviously that is just one of many loop holes this company has found. A week late i was charged a further 49.99 usd for nothing. The fine print is not clear. As if you look at reviews you will see many of us caught out by this deception. PDF Guru refused to refund so I have had to now escalate this with my bank in the hopes of getting my $73 aud back. They refused a refund but offered me 2 years FREE access? WTF? Do not use this company.

Negative: Will not refund for services that you never purchased and didn't know would happen. Make random automated payments from your account. BUYER BEWARE

Summary: Please be careful! I have been charged for £49.99 for service which I don't need. Fraud action force charge your card!

Positive: N/a.

Negative: Scam domain.

Summary: In my personal experience, the app was useless for my needs, and the billing practices left me feeling deceived. I recommend staying well away from this company and its app.

Positive: There is nothing to report positive about such a fraudsters. The pros is they are good at many people fool.

Negative: I had an extremely negative experience with this company and strongly advise others to avoid them. I signed up for a service and paid a small initial fee, but the service did not deliver what was promised or what I reasonably expected.

On top of that, I was charged €49.99 for an annual subscription that I never knowingly agreed to. This charge came as a complete surprise and felt deeply misleading and unfair.

Summary: Avoid at all costs.

Positive: Nothing.

Negative: I spent 0.99 as a one off payment for a PDF to word document which wasn’t useable. A week later they ‘stole’ £49.99 from my account and have refused to return it to me. I now have the unfortunate task of looking at taking legal action. Please don’t use this company.

Summary: Complete scam. You sign up for a trial and then they scam you and keep charging you. Do not trust or use.

Positive: Nothing – they charge you for things that you didn't agree to, and obfuscate that they are doing this and try to hide behind this. No answers to repeated emails. Scammers.

Negative: They initiate recurring payment which you do not agree to.

Summary: Beware of this deceitful, cunning scam, trickery at its finest, get a once off file converted for $1.99, months later you find out the crooks have been stealing money from you bank account monthly $50USD for absolutely nothing in return, then they have the hide to tell you you missed the fine print, and that you actually signed up for a monthly subscription to be stolen from your bank account at their will, and to top it of PayPal says it's fine, you're on your own buddy, nothing to see here, absolute brazen theft by these slimey crooks and PayPal to boot.

Positive: Nothing to like about this thievery. They've developed a cunning plan to extract a lot of money from trial users without their knowledge. It's criminal.

Negative: Their deception in order to steal money from unaware victims.

Summary: Terrible thieves.

Positive: Nothing.

Negative: Any company who enrolls you into a subscription without your consent is a scam specially if you are paying for the services …just because I go to a restaurant once this restaurant doesn’t enroll me into their minimum charge every month

Summary: I'd rather not!!! I have absolutely nothing good to say about this company. Wish I had read these reviews before donating to them.

Positive: Service was great for the one page I converted but it wasn't worth $52. I would never trust this company again.

Negative: I didn't mind paying for the trial period of $1.99 but they don't operate like other sites. They CONVENIENTLY add "fine print" hoping no one reads it. After being charged a non-refundable $49.99, I tried to cancel so they charged AGAIN for $.99 For every person scammed, they make $52 then send an email telling you "sorry"! They make a lot of money off of this scam.

Summary: I was scammed by this company as so many others. I had a one time need to translate a PDF form. Tried PDF Guru, and before showing me the result of the translation, I was asked to pay 1 Euro for a 7-day trial. Big letters about what I was opting in for, and only after the scam occurred to me did I go back and discovered how they have hidden the monthly subscription of 50 Euros per months in the footer text with nearly invisible font (grey and small, inside the typical terms and conditions that they know nobody reads!). Of course, nothing like a confirmation by email or anything else that would induce me to cancel within the 7 day window...

I contacted customer service within minutes of my card getting charged, and of course there's no refund. So clearly, this business is based in tricking people like me to click and pay for a one time need, and secretly lure them into a crazy subscription that no sane private person would accept.

Perhaps with mentioning: The translation I needed completely failed!

Positive: Nothing!
I used the service for a form translation, and I was asked to pay 1 Euro for a 7 day trial. Which I figured was ok, so I was dumb enough to do it. The result was piss poor, the "translated" version of my PDF was identical to the original form! No translation.

Negative: THIS IS A SCAM! They make you sign up for a 7 day trial, and in invisible font in the footer, it is hidden that they will charge you 50 Euros per month per the end of the trial. Once you sing up, there is no confirmation per email or other receipt that makes it clear they are scamming you. Stay away from this company! There are other options that don't screw you over.

Summary: I cancelled on the app the repeat payment but did not know that unless i physically go into paypal it won't be accepted, so they took 49.99 GBP from me and refused to refund. I hope they won't con others into these stupid scams

Positive: Nothing.

Negative: PDF Guru offered a 7 day trial which i took with the caveat that i would cancel if I would not use it any more. WITHOUT any notice they just rolled me into a year sub and took money through paypal without any notification.

Summary: They stole over 250 US from my account by signing me up to a subscription I never agreed to, even though I used PayPal they refused to refund.

Positive: Nothing about this service and company is positive. They are a SCAM company hiding behind their DF conversion service.

Negative: PDF Guru are Guru’s of taking monthly subscriptions from your account when you make a one off purchase. They are an unscrupulous company. There are many other services. DON’T USE this one.

Summary: Be cautious with this service — I made a one-time payment of €0.99 for a single document conversion, and a week later they charged me €49 for a subscription I never agreed to. When I contacted their automated customer support, I was told they do not issue refunds. This is completely unacceptable and feels like a total scam.

Positive: N/A

Negative: An absolute scam.

Summary: Terrible - the subscription model is confusing and the charge per month? For the service? Outrageous.

Positive: It did a simple change I needed, and that's about it.

Negative: Used it for one document but did not see that after 99 cents, they start automatically charging 50 USD (74 CAD) a month. Wow. Great business model. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
