123 PDF Converter

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on May 04, 2009

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.

    "DID not work for me"

    January 22, 2012  |   By gajtguy

    Version: 123 PDF Converter 4.1

    Pros

    Simple interface. Trial version does exist.

    Cons

    Did not produce the proper output to Excel for my use. It was missing parts of phrases that should have been in the same cell (again converting to excel).
    Only 3 page convert one trial. Would like up to 5.

    Summary

    Try-it and see if it works for your use. Did not for me, but hey - move on...

    "Quick and Efficient"

    January 20, 2012  |   By jasminebrown8123

    Version: 123 PDF Converter 4.1

    Pros

    I do not need two different online pdf conversion tools to convert word to pdf and pdf to word anymore.

    Cons

    No complaints whatsoever.

    Summary

    I think it is the best tool for document conversion. It converted volumes of my PDF documents to word at once with batch convert feature. I do not have to convert each PDF individually with an online converter anymore.

    December 16, 2011  |   By niomiberry

    Version: 123 PDF Converter 4.1

    Summary

    It used to take more than 3 hours every week when i had to compile reports of my wing for my boss. I was left with no time to concentrate on other tasks but 123 PDF Converter solved my problem once and for all.
