PDFescape Reviews 83

2 weeks Ive been waiting for a resolution to the issues Im having, I even paid for membership. Each time I went to fill in text fields, lots of others appeared over the rest of the page. I have asked for a refund and all I get is that you are all very busy!! I don't think so, something here stinks!!
I definitely will not be recommending this anymore. WHERE IS MY REFUND?

Very disappointed with PDFescape. I used to use this a lot and it was very quick and easy to use. Since the update, it is now the worst PDF editor out.

Who ever reviewed, tested and signed off on this new version should not be employed.

If I could give a negative star(s), I would. The "update" is a joke. SOMEONE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR A NEW LINE OF WORK. What employment pool are you even hiring from?

PDFescape...you should be ashamed.

UNUSABLE TRASH

This company is very responsive and can be counted on to answer any inquiry.

I have been a premium subsriber since 2015. I have since cancelled my subscription when this new update came out. They literally destroyed there product. Very very dissapointed as it was my go-to and saved so much time before. I cannot believe in this modern day and age how something goes from ahead of industry to completely frustrating it's users (which I'm sure are significant since only a small amount of clients will take the time to write a negative review here instead of just cancelling and moving on). I hope this fix this but in the meantime it is a HARD NO. MS PAINT is better than PDF escape.

Quick response to request for information.

Prior to the revamp of the product, it was wonderful. Now, it is a mess. I cannot cancel the subscription. I tried via their website, several times, emailed and received tons of responses claiming their backlogged. My bank account has pending charges for a product I do not use. I want OUT but no one is assisting me. I will block them from my bank account. Take a few minutes to explore other services instead of this one.

Completely unusable.

PDFEscape decided to do a major upgrade in December 2022

Now you can't do a simple copy text and paste into the document. Among other strange usability issues.

I probably have told over 10 people about this product.

They are all disappointed and now scrambling to find a pdf editor.

We all used it to fill in legal documents, subscription docs, purchase agreements, and more

Please revert to the last version for the sake of all the innocent children who will one day grow up and need a PDF editor.

Otherwise still love what you used to have.

I just want to chime in here that this new update is terrible. I used to use pdf-escape all of the time. I recommended it to colleagues regularly who who all loved it. It's truly unusable now. I can't even begin to list all the things wrong with the update. What were the creators thinking??? This update is so bad that I keep thinking that Adobe sabotaged the app.

Its good to see that PDF escape have not heeded the outpouring of criticism from its users. A great application rendered totally unusable by the recent self sabotage upgrade. PDF escape should try downgrading their upgrade then i would gladly give 5 star review - as it stands 1 star is high praise indeed. Please change it back and I will subscribe

it used to be so good. Now they made it stupid!!!
I can just use Macbook annotation since they totally screwed how it used to work.

So amazingly bad and wonky that I can't find words in the English language that adequately describe my astonishment in this poorly thought out "upgrade". Have used this tool for years and now can't do a simple whiteout edit. Oh wait, 💩 best describes this company's product now.

Absolute trash. I'm sorry I had to give it one star.

I've worked with the free online version of PDF Escape for YEARS. The recent upgrade (I can't really call it an "upgrade") is terrible. It is no longer the stress-free, user-friendly site it once was. I have tried to "relearn" how to apply the tools to edit pdfs and each time, something completely wonky happens. Where in the past this one of my "go to" sites, it is now a site I cannot use and will never recommend. Whoever was in charge of the change, you created a subpar, completely non user-friendly product. I can't even. If this review gets any looks from people who can change this product back, PLEASE DO!

Just awful and completely unusable now! Used to be my go to tool but just rubbish!

Please roll back this atrocious change. Performance is so poor. The UI is very unintuitive.

I used to be able to rely on this tool and now it is really bad and will need to find an alternative.

I never leave reviews, and went out of my way to leave one as I am so disappointed.

I have been using this for years. It was excellent, fast, and free. However, they updated it recently, and it killed it. It is complete trash now. Broken, slow, and just straight up non-functional. Pdfescape is dead, hopefully they will revert to the old version.

New version is soooo bad!

I can not state how bad the new updated version of pdfescape is. Every time you make the slightest change to the document it loads for 5 seconds. It never does what you want it to do either. Please return to original version, it worked perfectly.

ABSOLUTLEY RUBBISH - the new update is horrible !
Convert it back to how it was please. I used this program for years - can't stand it now. Takes ages to load when adding and removing annotations + loads of other small irritating bugs.
This update is a DISASTER
I'll be looking for another option for Work Files - Bye Bye PDF Escape ...................
