CNET Editors' review
123PDFConverter promises users a simple solution to the problem of converting PDF files into easy-to-use Word files. While this process may sound difficult and complicated, this fantastic program distills the operation into something practically every user can operate.
This program's simple interface makes conversion into child's play. The opening screen allows users to select what PDF they want to use by browsing their hard drive and then also select where the DOC file will be saved. From there users begin to convert. A series of screens lead you through the process, ensuring that everything is perfect. Users designate a layout (Flowing text, formatted text, text-only and as-is), next they choose whether they want images to appear, whether character spacing should remain and conversion range of pages. Finally, all the options are laid out on one screen for review before conversion begins.
From this point the program shows a meter detailing the stages of conversion. The program quickly and effectively creates Word documents in our tests.
The trial version has a slim 14-use trial, but the simplicity of using it makes this enough time to fully evaluate the program's capabilities. 123PDFConverter is an easy-to-use program that lets users of all skill levels achieve the same results. Because of its simplicity and effectiveness, we highly recommend this program for download.

"Might as well be a virus"
Version: 123 PDF Converter 4.1
Pros
None. Amazingly, Cnet is making me us 10 characters as if there were 10 that i could use to describe this in a good way!
Cons
Doesn't work. Can't get rid of it. Toolbars won't go away even after uninstall. It isn't even a free trial, only converts 3 pages. The converted pages are NOT edible!!!! What is the point if you can not edit!
Summary
Don't do this to yourself, its a scam.
