I recently used the PDF Guru website after finding it through Google search results that clearly advertised it as a free PDF editor. The site gave me the impression that I could upload my file, make edits, and then download it without any charge. After uploading my PDF, I spent nearly 30 minutes carefully editing the document. However, when I tried to download my file, PDF Guru suddenly blocked access and demanded that I select a paid subscription plan before I could retrieve my edited work.

However, I later discovered that the company had secretly saved my card details and started withdrawing money from my account every month without my permission. I never agreed to any subscrip...
On October 21, 2025, I made a $0.70 payment on the PDF Guru website via my computer for a one-time 7-day plan. I continued without creating a membership and only intended to use the service once. However, without any prior notice or authorization, on October 28, 2025, $50 was charged to my Enpara ca...
I signed up for PDF Smart thinking it was just a simple $1 trial for one week. The site made it look like a low-cost test, but once the trial period ended, I was shocked to see a $34 monthly charge on my account. This detail was only written in very small print at the bottom of the page and only in ...
