From Recosoft Corporation:
PDF2Office is the revolutionary and comprehensive PDF document conversion and data extraction tool.

PDF2Office provides options for converting a range of pages in a PDF document into word processing formats and popular image types such as JPEG, Photoshop, PNG, TIFF etc... Furthermore, it offers the capability of extracting images from specific pages within a PDF document.
PDF2Office also provides a powerful batch conversion facility for converting many files at once simply by targeting the folder they are in!
PDF2Office sports an easy-to-use interface which allows one to set the target type on a file by file basis. To facilitate the conversion process PDF2Office even provides a layout preview and navigation of a PDF document within the application itself - allowing you to identify the pages to extract.
PDF2Office allows one to unlock the contents stored in PDF documents - making it available for use by the most popular software titles.

"I'm sorry I ever bought it."
Version: PDF2Office 5.1
Pros
It often does a half-decent job converting pdfs to Word docs
Cons
A half-decent job means you'll spend much more time fixing errors caused by type-size or font changes or cleaning out dozens of errors put in by bad scanning. I've often found it better to do the transfers manually. Next time I'll try the equivalent of Dragon Speak on my iPhone and just email the doc to myself. That's sure to be quicker, even with my bad diction.

"CNET says it's not the latest version"
Version: PDF2Office 5.1
Pros
Mediocre PDF converter. OK for the price (probably).
Cons
CNET keeps claiming my downloaded version id not 5.1 but the program +About" lists it as 5.1.0 although it show it on the dock as 5.0.
Summary
Is it all worth it? Maybe!!!

"output appears to be useless"
Version: PDF2Office 3.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I checked out the trial version today on a quite simple pdf document, just formatted text with some pictures, compatible to Acrobat version 5. The output I have got from the app is editable with M$ Word, but the formatting is screwed up totally. It should be much easier to make a new Word file from scratch. At least the application did not crash on my system, as reported from other users. The uninstall feature of the installer seems not to be operational. -

"Doesn't work at all"
Version: PDF2Office 3.1
Summary

The software crashed each time I tried to use it. Everything looks fine until you hit the conversion button, then Wham! It quits unexpectedly with errors including:
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x0f06426c -
"Better use your scanner"
Version: PDF2Office 2.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The program takes out the text fine, however the layout is a disaster. With a somewhat complicated document you may end up spending more time on reformating then you would have used when you had retyped the text by hand to start with. 2.1 is better than 2.0 though, maybe wait for 2.3 or greater? -
"good idea, execution is lacking"
Version: PDF2Office 2.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The Good:converted complex 50 page .pdf file in 5 minutes on 4 year old G4 powerbook. Most of plain text was correct and usuable. Much (~75%) of formatting was fine.
The Bad: 50 page document would take 5+ hours to clean up. Headers and footers are treated as part of the main text. Some headers disappeared entirely; others were partially converted and partially lost, appearing on some but not all pages. Footers became part of the text with some loss of formatting, appeared on first few pages and then were dropped.
Some unusual symbols (euros, infinity) were not converted correctly. Some lines had loss of formatting. Typefaces changed randomly within a paragraph, and usually did not match original (which was Times New Roman). Hard page breaks and many hard line returns were added. Many paragraph breaks were lost. Spaces between numbers and words (1 Jan 2004) were randomly lost. Right justification was ignored. Indentation was sometimes correct, often not. Bullet points were changed to file folders.
Converted Gant/Pert charts were unusable. Some formatting within charts was lost (centered, etc). Additional blank cells were added to some charts, and some cells were split. SOME CHARTS WERE ENTIRELY DELETED. DIAGRAMS WERE MANGLED, MISPLACED AND UNUSABLE. They obscured some text before and after their normal insertion point.
Formatting of signature blocks on contracts was not retained. Table of contents was not recognized as such, so page numbers were incorrect (copied directly rather than being updated to reflect the program's formatting choices).
Document produced by trial software is unuable because it contains a background (PDF2Office trial Background) on each page that cannot be deleted.
These are only SOME of the MANY, MANY problems that occurred using this software. Recosoft should have released this software as an early beta! To ask to be paid (quite a lot) for this garbage is shameful. Who do they think they are? Microsoft? -
"Good conversions now"
Version: PDF2Office 2.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Version 1.x was poor, but version 2.0 has been good for me with the first few tests on my technical documents, including PDF versions of Powerpoint presentations. It now does a better job than Adobe Acrobat. This price is a bit high, unles you need to use it every day.
