People share PDFs more than any other type of file, but they can be a pain to edit. Free PDF to Word switches them over to work in text editors so you can make quick edits. Though the program mentions Microsoft Word's ubiquitous word processor, it also works with Open Office and other open-source programs.
The program won't take up much hard-drive space and it can be installed in seconds. Free PDF to Word isn't exciting to look at, but it works like a charm. The best part is that it maintains most of the PDF's design, so you don't have to spend time putting the layout back together. You can make your edits and then export the file back to PDF. It will still have all the colors, images, and graphs it had before your edits. This software creates a special folder for the new document, but you can change this before converting. That way, you can keep the same file organization and you won't have to go searching for the converted document.
Free PDF to Word is a must-have for students, club members, and anyone who shares work online. It can shave hours off of your workload.
Publisher's Description
From Free PDF Solutions:
If you're looking for a fast and efficient PDF-to-DOC conversion program then you'll have made a good choice here. The program itself is pretty simple to use and you won't be confronted with too many options when using it. You can change output variables like the destination and name, you can choose to convert a whole PDF document or just specific pages and to save time and processing power you can also choose to ignore any images in the source PDF document when it's being converted so you get pure text output instead.

"works well for a very clean, uncomplicated .pdf"
Version: Free PDF to Word 1.0
Pros
It did convert one of three .pdf's to a editable .doc
Cons
Did not convert one of three at all, it ended up in the "Errors" text document in the root folder.
Did not convert one of three to an "editable" .doc which is the purpose of the software.Summary
I'm sure in some cases this program will perform great. Don't count on it to deliver every time, because it wont.
three files does not prove or disprove anything, if i find it works better in the future I will reevaluate my rating. -
