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.

"do not buy"
Version: 123PDFConverter PDF to Word Converter 3.0
Pros
bought this product and it never really worked well. always had to tweek the converted file at which point I might as well retyped it all manualy
Cons
After a hard drive crash I tried to reload the product, guess what the activation code was invalid. called support and emailed many time no reply for a week. finally someone in India answered and said they only store the code for a year so I was out of luck unless I wanted to purchase again!! I already bought it once now they want me to buy it again? RIP OFF!! my reinstall was 100% legit.
BUY SOME OTHER PRODUCT NOT THIS ONESummary
poor product, no support, only works for 1 install ever. If your pc crashes you are out of luck!!

"Paid, did not receive a registration code. RipOff!"
Version: 123PDFConverter PDF to Word Converter 3.0
Pros
what? I can't even use it after paying. I contacted their customer support twice by the only means they provide - email. I did not receive a response either time.
Cons
HIGH RISK vendor. You'll be charged but will not receive a registration code.
Summary
I can't speak to the use of the program, but the Customer Service is non-existent. They provide a registration process that returns the reg. code on a web page that the install closes before you can enter the number. Then the absence of a email confirmation of purchase and inclusion of registration code prevents full install.
Seller corrected issue I had within 36 hours. I tried to update my star rating to a 4 but was not sure how to do it.

"Trial version failed to satisfy expectations"
Version: 123PDFConverter PDF to Word Converter 3.0
Pros
Did an okay job of converting to Word. Carried over pics.
Cons
I use Printkey 2000 to screen capture and print. It disabled this program and tookover the printer control. Not good. Some font conversions were wrong and I could not correct them.
Summary
It's not the best choice. Keep looking.

"Do NOT purchase this product!"
Version: 123PDFConverter PDF to Word Converter 3.0
Pros
I don't know... it did NOT provide me the option to do a simple conversion of a Word document to PDF. A B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T. That it is!!!
It is so much better if these clowns were NOT to offer a trial. They don't know what a Trail means.Cons
.Do NOT try or buy this product. Any company which does NOT allow a full-trail is a SCAM company and just trying to steal your money... do NOT buy!!!
Summary
It SUCKS and not how you would want it to SUCK!!! It is GARBAGE! As I had mentioned... if one is NOT able to try the product... do NOT purchase... do NOT... that goes for any company which does afford people FULL usage of product as trail.

"Incredibly poor customer service if things goes wrong"
Version: 123PDFConverter PDF to Word Converter 3.0
Pros
useful program if you want to waste your money.
Cons
Make sure you read their fine print that the product license is only good for 1 year. After that there is no way to reinstall the program unless you pay them more money. They hide this information away quite well.
Summary
Very dishonest company. Find a different program. I am very disappointed with CNET for giving them such a high rating. However, they probably 4 star treatment.

"This is one of the worst products i brought"
Version: 123PDFConverter PDF to Word Converter 3.0
Pros
There is nothing I like about this product.
Cons
I don't know I never got it to work
Summary
I brought this product. It didn't work, I contacted the support and he sent me another supposed upgraded verizon but the serial number wouldn't work. Again I contact the support and they refused to refund my money and again sent me an updated version with a key code that wouldn't work. Again I contacted support and sent them the information on my computer and have yet to here back from the company, it's been 3 weeks and they refuse to answer any of my emails.
