Cancel Pdf Pro: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel PDF pro in new zealand and keep your documents safe
What is PDF pro
PDF Pro (also marketed as PDF Reader Pro) is a desktop, web and mobile application that lets you edit, convert, annotate and manage PDF files across your devices.
Core features and use cases
The software handles everyday PDF tasks: converting documents to other formats, extracting text via OCR, adding annotations, and on premium tiers, using AI-powered assistance. You can use it on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, with cloud syncing across devices.
Most users choose PDF Pro because it combines simplicity with professional-grade tools, without the complexity of enterprise software.
Subscription model
PDF Pro operates on flexible plans: annual subscriptions, lifetime licenses and monthly options. You can cancel at any time, though the rules differ depending on whether you subscribed through the official website or via Apple, Google or Microsoft app stores.
PDF pro pricing and plans in new zealand
Understanding your plan helps you decide if cancellation makes sense for your workflow and budget.
Current plan breakdown
PDF Pro offers three main subscription tiers on the developer's website. Prices shown are in NZD and current as of 2026; app store pricing may vary due to local currency conversion and platform differences.
| Plan | Price (NZD) | Billing cycle | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDF Reader Pro Standard | NZ$59.99 | Annual | 4-device access, PDF editing, OCR, annotations |
| PDF Reader Pro Advanced | NZ$63.99 | Annual | 4-device access, AI Assistant, editing, OCR |
| PDF Reader Pro Permanent | NZ$83.99 | One-time lifetime | Lifetime license, 1-device access, no recurring charges |
Why pricing matters for your cancellation decision
If you are paying annual fees, you have 14 calendar days to request a refund for desktop purchases. If you bought a lifetime plan and want to cancel, check your purchase receipt to confirm the original purchase date; PDF Pro's 30-day refund window may still apply. If you subscribed via an app store, that store's refund policy takes precedence, and your cancellation request goes to them, not to PDF Pro directly.
Why you might cancel PDF pro
Cancellation makes sense when the service no longer fits your needs or budget.
Common reasons to cancel
You might cancel because you have switched to free alternatives like LibreOffice or Preview (on Mac), you no longer work with PDFs regularly, the AI features do not justify the annual cost for your workflows, or you have found a cheaper competitor like Sejda or Adobe's entry-level plans.
Budget constraints are equally valid: if you are tightening spending or using fewer premium features than you expected, cancellation is straightforward and reversible.
When to keep your subscription
Stay subscribed if PDF editing is core to your job, you regularly use OCR for document scanning, you need 4-device synchronisation across phone, tablet and computers, or the AI Assistant features save you more than NZ$60 per year in time. If your professional workflow depends on reliable, fast conversion and annotation, the cost often justifies itself.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
You have legal protections when cancelling digital services in New Zealand, even if the company makes the process difficult.
Consumer guarantees act protections
Under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA), digital goods and services must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose and as described. If PDF Pro fails to deliver what was promised, crashes frequently, or lacks advertised features, you have the right to request a refund or remedy from the company, separate from their stated cancellation policy.
The CGA is a safety net: if PDF Pro's 30-day refund window has expired but the product is genuinely faulty, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or seek advice from Citizens Advice Bureau Aotearoa.
Distance selling and cooling-off rights
New Zealand law generally does not grant a cooling-off period for digital services once access has begun. However, PDF Pro's own 30-day refund policy is more generous than the law requires, so you should take advantage of it.
If you have a complaint about misleading marketing or a product defect, document it and contact PDF Pro support first. If they refuse to help, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission.
How to cancel PDF pro on desktop and web
Cancelling your desktop or web subscription is straightforward and takes under five minutes. You must provide 15 calendar days' written notice before your renewal date for your cancellation to take effect, so plan ahead.
Step-by-step cancellation process
- Open your web browser and navigate to the PDF Pro website (the developer's main portal).
- Sign in with the email address and password you used when you purchased your subscription.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page.
- Locate your Account Settings or Subscription Settings section, usually in a menu at the top right or in a dashboard.
- Look for buttons labelled "Subscriptions", "Billing" or "Account".
- Find your active PDF Pro subscription in the list of subscriptions.
- You should see your plan name (Standard, Advanced or Permanent), the renewal date and the payment method.
- Click the "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Subscription" button next to your plan.
- Confirm your cancellation on the next screen. The system will ask you to confirm once more.
- Warning: Do not close your browser until you see a cancellation confirmation message or order number on the screen.
- Screenshot or save the confirmation page for your records.
- Pro tip: Email the screenshot to yourself or save it as a PDF for future reference in case you need to prove cancellation.
- Check your email inbox within 10 minutes for a confirmation email from PDF Pro. If you do not receive one, sign back in and verify the subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "Will not renew".
Important cancellation timing rules
You must submit your cancellation request at least 15 calendar days before your renewal date. If your renewal is on 20 March, you must cancel by 5 March at the latest. If you cancel after the 15-day window, your payment will process and you will need to request a refund separately through support. Stopee recommends checking your renewal date in your account settings right now so you know your deadline.
How to cancel PDF pro on mobile apps
If you subscribed via Apple App Store, Google Play or another app store, the cancellation process is different because the app store controls your subscription, not PDF Pro directly.
Cancel on iPhone or iPad (Apple app store)
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID profile.
- Select "Subscriptions".
- Find "PDF Reader Pro" in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap on it and select "Cancel Subscription".
- You will see the expiry date of your current billing period.
- Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Confirm" or "Yes, Cancel".
- Apple will send you a confirmation email to your Apple ID email address within a few minutes.
Cancel on android (Google play store)
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" or "Manage subscriptions".
- Tap "Subscriptions".
- Find "PDF Reader Pro" and tap on it.
- Select "Cancel subscription".
- Google will ask you to confirm once more and may offer a discount to retain you.
- Complete the cancellation by tapping "Cancel subscription" on the final confirmation screen.
- Google sends a confirmation email immediately.
Key difference: app store subscriptions
Important: If you subscribed through an app store, you cannot cancel directly through PDF Pro support. The app store owns the subscription relationship. PDF Pro support staff cannot cancel, refund or modify an app store subscription. You must go through Apple, Google or Microsoft themselves. If you contact PDF Pro support about an app store cancellation, they will redirect you to the store.
What happens after you cancel PDF pro
Cancelling does not mean you lose access immediately; understanding the transition helps you plan ahead for exporting files or finding alternatives.
Your access window after cancellation
After you submit a valid cancellation request, your access continues until the end of your current paid billing period. If your annual renewal was set for 15 June and you cancel on 1 June, you keep full access until 14 June. On the renewal date, PDF Pro revokes your premium features and you revert to a free viewer (if one exists) or lose access entirely, depending on the app.
Use this window to export any documents you need to keep, download backup copies or migrate to another tool.
Files, data and cloud storage
Files you saved within PDF Pro or synced to cloud storage are typically preserved, but your access to premium editing and OCR features stops when the subscription expires. Export any documents you plan to edit in the future before your subscription ends. Some users screenshot their documents, save them as standalone PDFs or convert them to formats like Word or image files for safekeeping.
Log in one last time during your remaining access window and download or backup everything you need. Stopee recommends doing this at least 48 hours before your renewal date, in case you encounter technical issues.
Refunds and credit for PDF pro cancellations
You may qualify for a refund depending on when you purchased and through which platform.
Desktop and web refund policy
PDF Pro Software Inc. offers a full refund for any desktop or web purchase made within the last 30 calendar days, no questions asked. To request a refund, open a support ticket on the PDF Pro website with your order number and purchase date. Processing typically takes 1 to 2 business days internally, then 2 to 3 business days for your bank to credit the funds to your account.
Pro tip: If your refund has not appeared within 5 business days of submitting the request, contact PDF Pro support again with a reference number and ask for escalation to the finance team.
App store and mobile refunds
Purchases made through Apple, Google Play or Microsoft Store are refunded exclusively through those platforms. PDF Pro cannot process refunds for app store transactions. You must request the refund from the store itself using the store's refund tool or by contacting the store's support team.
Apple typically allows refunds within 14 days of purchase. Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours. If you are outside these windows, your refund request may be denied, but you can still try appealing through the store's support channels.
Refund timeline and strategy
If you purchased more than 30 days ago but believe PDF Pro is faulty or not as described, request a refund anyway via support and cite the Consumer Guarantees Act. Even if PDF Pro denies the request, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or Citizens Advice Bureau Aotearoa.
Common mistakes when cancelling PDF pro
Cancellation can feel overwhelming when you are juggling passwords, app stores and billing dates, but these missteps are easily avoided.
Mistake 1: cancelling in the app instead of via web account
Many users open the PDF Pro app, look for a cancellation button and find none. The app does not contain a subscription management feature; cancellation only works through the official website's account settings. If you are on mobile, use your phone's browser to visit the PDF Pro website and sign in there, not through the app store.
Mistake 2: missing the 15-day notice requirement
PDF Pro's terms require 15 calendar days' notice before renewal. If you cancel on the 14th day before renewal, your cancellation is invalid and your payment will process. Check your renewal date immediately and mark your calendar 15 days before it. Stopee's users often set a phone reminder for two weeks before renewal to avoid this trap.
Mistake 3: assuming app store cancellation is linked to your account
Cancelling via Apple or Google does not automatically cancel your web subscription, and vice versa. If you subscribed both ways (e.g., bought on desktop and then bought an iOS add-on), you must cancel both subscriptions separately. Check your account on the PDF Pro website and each app store to verify all active subscriptions are cancelled.
Mistake 4: not saving your cancellation confirmation
If you cancel and receive no confirmation email within 15 minutes, it is possible the request did not go through. Before you close your browser, take a screenshot of the confirmation page showing "Subscription cancelled" or similar language. Store this image or email it to yourself. If you ever dispute a charge, this proof is invaluable.
Mistake 5: forgetting to export your documents before the subscription ends
After cancellation, your access ends on the renewal date. You have no grace period and no second chances to retrieve files. Export everything you need before that date arrives. Many users realise too late that they have lost access to a folder of annotated PDFs.

Contact address for PDF pro complaints in new zealand
If PDF Pro refuses to cancel your subscription or denies a refund you believe you are entitled to, you have options for escalation.
Direct contact with PDF pro

For cancellation and refund requests, always use the support ticket system on the PDF Pro website (accessible after you sign in to your account). This creates a documented record of your request.
Escalation to new zealand authorities
If PDF Pro support does not respond within 10 business days or refuses a refund you believe you are legally entitled to, you can lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission (comcom.govt.nz) or seek free advice from Citizens Advice Bureau Aotearoa (cab.org.nz).
Document everything: your purchase receipts, cancellation requests, support emails and the dates you sent them. The Commerce Commission uses this evidence to investigate breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act and misleading marketing practices.

Cancelling PDF Pro is a straightforward process if you act within the 15-day notice window, cancel in the correct location (website for direct subscriptions, app store for app purchases) and export your files before your access expires. You have consumer rights under New Zealand law, and PDF Pro's 30-day refund policy gives you a safety net beyond the legal minimum.
