Free PDF to Word Converter shares many things in common with its competitors besides a similar name. There are some useful features here that try to address the various needs and permutations of PDFs, but it struggles to get a final output that looks perfect.
There's no drag-and-drop support, but the program can batch-convert PDFs without being restricted to specific folders. You can also customize your output folder, and choose a destination format in RTF or DOC. There's support for high levels of security, with space to provide passwords from the PDF owner and the PDF user. You can remove graphics on conversion and micro-manage the spaces between words and text boxes. Free PDF to Word Converter smoothly handles specific page range conversions, too.
It doesn't fail outright on its final output, but be prepared for some minor yet annoying formatting errors, with occasional and minor word and image overlap. Keeping this in mind, Free PDF to Word Converter is still a decent and stable converter that's worth playing with--especially if you don't have any images in your source PDF.

Cons: didn't work

Version: Free PDF to Word Converter 1.5
Pros: I needed some legal forms that I could modify. I had to do a lot of tweaking afterwards, to get it in a useful format but this sure saved me a bunch of time over starting from scratch.
Cons: I'm sure it was because of the PDF specs but it seemed to create a LOT more individual components that was necessary. A pain in the backside but overall it was worth the effort
Summary: It took me a bit to figure out what all it did and I had to change a lot of things like font settings and it duplicated every drawn line. It was very fast and once I got the hang of it, it was manageable, which is what I was looking for. The fact ... read more >>

Cons: All of it.
Summary: Don't waste your time, for every in your pdf it makes an image and then inserts each image into word. I would expect to be able to copy and paste text or edit the text. For this I recommend ReadIris Pro, I tried a few versions, 11 pro found it to ... read more >>
