CNET Editors' review
The ubiquitous PDF is not the answer to everyone's problems. For those who need an image file instead, Office Convert PDF to JPEG offers users a simple way to make this leap.
This freeware program has an interface that is fairly simple to understand. While there are options for removing files and folders, most users are going to be concerned with the big blue button at the center of the program, Add File. This leads you to a simple file tree for finding PDFs. A selected file is listed on a large screen with its file name, location and size. The Convert button is just as prominent as the Add File button, so users won't have to guess what to do next.
Once a file is selected, the process is amazingly simple. Clicking the Convert button asks the user where they want their new JPEG to be stored and then goes right to work. A small chart pops up and monitors progress, which is a little slower than we'd like, but not too painful. When the job is over, the program takes you to your new JPEG.
Users will also find options to convert their PDFs to BMP, GIF, and TIFF files, but not many other alternatives or frills. We welcome this lack of complexity, because Office Convert PDF to JPEG does exactly as it should and makes for a great download.

"It's not free and it's error"
Version: Office Convert PDF to JPG JPEG TIFF Free 6.4
Pros
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Cons
It cannot convert PDFs and it allows you to convert files one by one only, and worse it gives you error message in the end. I should give this piece of junk 0 star.

"Bait and Switch!"
Version: Office Convert PDF to JPG JPEG TIFF Free 6.4
Pros
It was free.
Cons
It doesn't work!
Summary
The free version (which took 2 tries to download) doesn't work. Can you say Bait and Switch? "Sorry. The free version won't convert your file. Would you like to buy the expensive registered version?"
Why don't you just offer only that and save me the 25 minutes of downloading and finding out this garbage doesn't work. If that had been the casse up front, I might have actually bought the registered version. With practices like that, there is NO WAY I'm going to actually buy something from this company. -
"Might work better for someone more tech-savvy"
Version: Office Convert PDF to JPG JPEG TIFF Free 6.4
Pros
Easy to install
Easy to locate filesCons
Constantly asking you to purchase upgraded product
MisleadingSummary
I was trying to convert a PDF of letterhead to a jpeg and it screwed up the address at the top- only took the 'S's. Could not figure out how to convert entire file. You may have to pay for that. Which is not what they advertise.
