Company is Wondershare, they offer other tools, including PDF handling tool. Screwed me and I am too lazy to make a video out of it, but the way they work, they will drain their customer base very fast! Good way to die fast!
In my case, their trial limited the merging to 3 PDFs. And that worked, so I went for the full version. They have a no refund condition as you can use their trial product, except I had to merge 40 documents (mixture of docx and PDFs) and there it didn't work. They did two fixes (had to install two special releases) and one was to not crash, but wait idle until the user decides to click cancel...very lame!
My guess is that they handle every refund case like that, so, once burned, not only their "users" will complain on the web, but they won't renew! So, massive scammy growth, followed by mega dip and crash.
In the end, I converted my DOCX through Word (what their app seems to do too), then I merged all the PDFs using affinity designer (That's where their app seems to fail). That workflow is in the end much better and robust and cheaper. By trying, buying and trying to use their app, Iost both time and money. So, they joined my "doubtful company" mental list.
