Pros
When it works, it is very fast.
Text only files convert readily.
Text errors are few.
Cons
The interface is basic. One has to open the program and manually locate the pdf file for conversion and select it for the conversion to occur. (The program does not add a right-click conversion option).
Some pdf files fail to convert - reported as 'encrypted'. (Happens to many files).
Each pdf page is converted into one text file. Thus a 10 page pdf file converts to 10 separate text files, which have then to be combined using Word or similar program.
Summary
It's a no frills program with some limitations, but it is free!

Pros
None that I saw. Sure it's free, but when it wastes your time, even free isn't a benefit
Cons
Tried to use it with a PDF I'd just scanned. It claimed to have converted the file, but when I opened it I ended up with a blank page. Tried another file (that I'd downloaded) just to see if I could get it to work with anything, and it claimed to be encrypted. Clearly, it will be of no use to me.
Summary
Save yourself the frustration of uninstalling and don't bother to download.

You can't convert a scanned PDF (an image) to text without an OCR conversion. This is for text-based PDFs.
Pros
Can work with huge files, as it writes out one file per page, other converters crashed aroung the 7000-10,000 page.
Cons
Errors! Street becomes Stret, 25,000 becomes 250, etc...
Summary
Does not work with repeating characters. Hopefully there will be a fix out real soon!

Pros
Ever extracted a few 000 OCR output pages? Correcting a 2000 page document will drive you crazy if you have a single document. Single page outputs helps systematic corrections and keeping track of what you have done And combine .txt files later.
Cons
None - simple - neat!
Summary
I correct and validate text in PDFs that have been OCR ed - And there are 000s and 000s pages!

Pros
- free, simple to install and quick
Cons
- generates 1 .txt fille per page in each .pdf
- would be nice to have command line interface
Summary
I have straight forward .pdf files to begin with, no image etc. It does exactly what it claims and free. What's more can I expect? It is a keeper for me.
