Pdfsam Reviews

Kept insisting that I should acquire a paid version

To merge PDFs it kept insisting that I should acquire a paid version even though their website said the free Basic version should be able to do so

No refunds - Terrible service

They won t issue a refund after auto renewal even though I made the request the same day as the renewal I got a long email from customer support many days after I contacted them explaining that I could have cancelled before the renewal but since I didn t they didn t have to give me a refund The support email even included screenshots of my agreement from two years ago to prove their point Really shockingly bad customer service Our business has used countless software products over the years and rarely have we encountered a company that wouldn t issue a refund I wouldn t be on here if they had given me a refund but while I m here I ll say their PDF product is not great Probably 3 5 stars for the product itself This is why I m not renewing

A perpetual license is not really perpetual

Their website promises PDFsam Enhanced allows for 1 activation per license key At any time only 1 computer can use PDFsam Enhanced You can always transfer your license to another computer by contacting the support team However when contacted the support team will not do this

Perpetual license cancelled after several years customer service does not reply

Several years ago I bought PDFsam Enhanced 6 with a perpetual licence i e not subscription-based but a permanent installation One minor nuisance was that every once in a while one needed to log in to activate the paid-for features e g Editing etc Then the company suddenly would no longer recognize the log in and simply claim that the connection could not be estbalished As a result the PDF editing software I purchased turned into a useless second-rate pdf viewer -- even though I paid extra money to get a perpetual installation Three emails to customer service went unacknowledged there apparently simply is not customer service to speak of Perhaps the company has gone rogue or they just don t care about customers they can t routinely milk for a subscription fee Either way I would recommend staying away from this -- unless you want to be paying good money for second-rate software and non-existent customer service

I did not mean to purchase but when I

I did not mean to purchase but when I left the site it charged my card PDF Sam Enhanced is incompatible with Windows Explorer and gmail They will not refund the price and customer service will not help with problemsIt does an adequate job on small pdf files not large ones but don t waste your money in order to use gmail or windows explorer you have to use task manager to turn off pdf sam and it usually has more than six entries

Signed up with an offer

Signed up with an offer Works ok but at full price the product is expensive for what you get and the level of customer service is poor I was sure I d cancelled auto renewal but it appears I hadn t and payment was taken Within an hour of receiving the renewal email I contacted customer services who refused to refund despite me having not used the software in that time I did get a 20 discount on the current bill but it is still expensive for the functionality and they were unwilling to budge

Does not want to honor purchase

Purchased pdfsam perpetual license and during the payment their website didn t give me the option to enter an email address I thought I would get a chance during a review payment page or something similar payment went through and I was given the key on a purchase confirmation screen which I thankfully screenshot but no email was sent and I couldn t get the product associated with the email Talked with support and went on a wild goose chase Management refuses to honor the purchase

Great free and OSS application

PDFsam Basic is free open source and well done The premium versions Visual and Enhanced do more but may not be needed for the average user The PDFsam Basic installer asks to try the PDFsam Enhanced version through a checkbox make sure you don t miss it

Free Version Merged Like No Other Free PDF Software I ve Found

The free version seems pretty neat so far Merged some files I ve been having no end of trouble with
