Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 86 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Consumers frequently experience unexpected recurring monthly charges on their bank accounts after paying only a small initial fee for a simple one-off document conversion service. People note that these costly subscriptions are automatically activated without obtaining clear consent or sending any explicit notification beforehand. Some reviewers were not happy with the complicated website layout, finding it extremely difficult to locate necessary terms and proper information. Customers also struggled to discover hidden cancellation options, noting that requests for refunds were completely denied and email support offered zero assistance.

£1 unclear sign up scam, got me since Oct 2023!! Fuming

Exactly the same as people below. My bank was very familiar with this 'service provider'!!! Go to smartpdf, log in to your account, cancel subscription (you will receive cancellation email), cancel the transaction with your bank, but your bank cannot guarantee that they can are able to stop all future payments (due to business changing their payment transaction name from ultrapdf to smrtpf which can get through bank security!!! says my bank HSBC), so you will then need to also cancel your card to do everything you can to stop this happening. But HSBS said this STILL does not future proof their ability to take future payments, but could not explain to me how, it is just the 'schpeel' they have to say to banking customers. But having received the cancellation email, you can now dispute all future transactions and have all future illegally taken transactions likely successfully refunded.

They just stole $70 from my account

They just stole $70 from my account! Crooks. Don't go near them. We even got a fraud alert from our bank and they still managed to take a payment even after we got a new ATM card to stop them.

A scam hiding behind a working product 😢

The product itself worked but ended up being a SCAM.

I paid £1 to edit a PDF and now they've been trying to charge me ~£40 for some sort of "subscription"

Luckily Monzo saw the payment as fraud and blocked it.

Now I'm waiting for a new card to be delivered

You can cancel your subscription…

You can cancel your subscription through SmartPDF.

The money withdrawn for the SmartPDF subscription appears on the bank statement as WWUltraPDF—at least, that was my experience. When you first used SmartPDF, an account was created for you. You can find the account details and password by searching for SmartPDF in your emails.

Once you log in, you can cancel your subscription.

I hope this helps!

Total scam

Total scam - did a free trial and then did not click any box to authorise payments - they have been taking £29.90 for the past couple of months - no way to cancel or talk to anyone. Ended up speaking to my credit card company who have logged it as scam and will block future payments!

SCAMMY

They tried to charge 39.99 quid on my credit card even though I never agreed to a subscription (referenced under wwultrapdf). I actually only used a website called pdffiller to purchase a one-off edit (<1 pound) 2 weeks ago. I believe the two website may be related. Thankfully my bank did not approve of the transaction. Please be careful.

Scammers! Just to say the same as everyone else

Just to say the same as everyone else - I did not ask for or want a subscription, and then found they were taking £34.99 from my account. It is impossible to contact them too!
However, having seen these posts, and realised it's a scam, I spoke to my bank and pointed them in direction of this site. They have refunded me - and ordered me a new card - and told me to contact them again if any more payments manage to get through. SPEAK TO YOUR BANK PEOPLE - they will help you!

Subscription without consent

Like many others here, I signed up for the the £1 trail and have since been charged £34.99 without my consent. I have now cancelled the subscription (which I never signed up for) on their website and have blocked future payments through my bank. Hopefully this will work.

Avoid, they will not cancel your subscription

I used the service and paid a one-off fee, the following month I was charged £34.99, so I unsubscribed using their website, however, the payments kept leaving my account without my content despite receiving an email from them confirming that my plan had been cancelled, the company's name kept changing on my bank transactions between WWULTRAPDF and WWPDFSMRT, so, I emailed them but no one replied, in the end, I had to contact my bank to look into the matter and dispute the unauthorised payments.
