This was advertised as a free service, but I had to pay $1.95 to get my download. Then, the download was terrible--totally unusable. I'll just have to recreate my PDF by hand, apparently. I'd really like a refund.

Hi,

Thank you for the 3 star rating. Our website is free to use! To edit and convert your document it's free but if you want to do any downloads you need to have a subscription. We have an initial trial for $1.95 or $1.45. You can try out PDF Simpli for 14 days with unlimited access or use our Delayed option where you can get one document after 24 hours free of charge.

Please send an email to our Technical Department at techsupport@worksimpli.io and explain further so we can assist you. They can help you with any technical issues you may experience with our website.

October 24, 2024

I agreed to pay $1.95 to convert one document and somehow 15 days later I was charged for a membership for a year of $49.95. I only clicked the box to convert one document. This was very misleading.

You stole from me.
December 16, 2024

I purchased a 14 day trial to download one item. The cost was $1.45
30 days later you took $49.99 in a subscription fee. I did not subscribe knowingly. You defrauded my intention to a 14-day trial. You are scammers.
I filed a complaint which was denied on your end.
Shame on you.

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. Registering to our website is completely free and so is editing and converting. If you would like to download or print the converted document, then an active subscription is needed. You can use our 14 days trial for $1.95 or $1.45 to download the document and if you are not satisfied with us then you can cancel it any time before 14 days and you’ll only pay once.

We provide a risk-free trial period during which full refunds are available for all charges within 30 days of the initial transaction date if cancellation is overlooked. Should cancellation not be initiated, billing will continue as per the agreed terms, which must be accepted prior to commencing the trial. Participation in the trial is voluntary, and charges are not imposed arbitrarily.

PDF Simpli works with a user based system in which every user must choose the trial plan where it is explained that the account is for 14 days and due to an automatic renewal upon not canceling within the trial period. Also, every customer receives these details in the email once the account is created. Lastly in order to activate your account you must have agreed with the terms and conditions where the auto renewal details are once again provided. We hope this can be of assistance.

Sincerely,

PDFSimpli

I tried a pdf conversion to word which requires OCR
December 16, 2024

I tried a pdf conversion to word which requires OCR. Unfortunately the pdf did not get converted to editable texts. The texts are as picture square box. So, why do I need to pay this as such conversions are happening with free.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concern regarding OCR functionality. At the moment, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is not available on PDFSimpli, which is why scanned documents or images may not convert into editable text. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Our team is constantly working to improve our platform, and we greatly value your input. If you have further questions or need assistance with other features, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 1-844-898-1076 or via email at support@worksimpli.io.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your concerns.

Hola,

Esperamos que estés bien. Registrarse en nuestro sitio web es completamente gratuito, al igual que editar y convertir. Si deseas descargar o imprimir el documento convertido, necesitas una suscripción activa. Puedes usar nuestra prueba de 14 días por $1.95 o $1.45 para descargar el documento. Si no estás satisfecho, puedes cancelarla en cualquier momento antes de los 14 días y solo pagarás una vez.

Ofrecemos un período de prueba sin riesgos durante el cual se reembolsarán todos los cargos dentro de los 30 días posteriores a la fecha de la transacción inicial si se pasa por alto la cancelación. Si no se inicia la cancelación, la facturación continuará según los términos acordados, que deben aceptarse antes de comenzar la prueba. La participación en la prueba es voluntaria y los cargos no se imponen arbitrariamente.

PDF Simpli funciona con un sistema basado en el usuario, en el que cada usuario debe elegir el plan de prueba. Se explica que la cuenta tiene una duración de 14 días y se renovará automáticamente si no se cancela dentro del período de prueba. Además, cada cliente recibe esta información por correo electrónico una vez creada la cuenta. Para activar su cuenta, debe aceptar los términos y condiciones, donde se proporciona nuevamente la información de renovación automática. Esperamos que esto le sea útil.

Atentamente,

PDFSimpli

Ok. This site is a complete scam. I did not sign up for PDFSimpli, nor did I give them my financial information. I do believe this site is a complete scam. Please, do not use this company.

I paid $2 to download one pdf and turned out they automatically subscribed me for $40/month.
Don't tell me it's transparent, when they charge me every month, I never receive a invoice nor receipt. Just charge my visa until I found out months later. Such a SCAMP. It is even more expensive than Adobe pdf editor. No not ever give your credit card number to it.
