Published: December 2, 2025

Recently, PDFgear has been the subject of online discussions that include inaccurate or misleading information about our products. We take these matters seriously and would like to provide clear and fact-based clarification.

1. PDFgear is Safe to Use

PDFgear does not contain malware or spyware, nor does it engage in any harmful or deceptive behaviour. Consistent with this, PDFgear installers are regularly scanned by multiple antivirus engines on well-recognised security platforms, and no malware detections have ever been found.

PDFgear is also available on major distribution platforms, including the App Store, Google Play, and the Mac App Store. These platforms enforce strict security review processes, and applications with unsafe or non-compliant code cannot pass review or remain listed. The long-term presence across these platforms reflects the proven safety, quality, and reliability of PDFgear products.

Product integrity and user privacy are core priorities that guide PDFgear’s development and long-term growth. These principles ensure that we deliver reliable tools and continuously improve our products for our global user community.

We maintain strong security practices and responsible product design throughout our work. Every PDFgear release is digitally verified and carefully tested to meet industry standards, and we continuously strengthen our practices to address evolving security needs.

PDFgear is reviewing these claims and has engaged legal counsel to evaluate the situation. We reserve all rights to pursue appropriate legal remedies against any individual or entity that knowingly publishes or circulates defamatory, false, or harmful statements about our products.
