CNET Editors' review
Quick PDF Converter provides users with a program that changes PDFs into different file types. With a user-friendly interface and quick, accurate results, this is a great choice for anyone in a conversion jam.
With a professional layout, featuring well-planned white space and intuitive commands, we were able to instantly leap into action. Users will most likely not need the FAQ, but an in-depth one is available for anyone who finds a snag in the process. Converting our PDFs was a pleasant experience all around. Users select a file from a file tree and choose its destination using the same setup. Below these file trees are four large icons that allow for the PDF to be changed to a Word doc, an Excel file, an image, or a PostScript. Users need only press the appropriate button and the file converts in a matter of seconds, though we found the larger the file, the longer the conversion. The bottom of the Quick PDF to Word screen also features a simple gallery of options. Language, layers, image recovery, and layout options are all broken into easy radio button options. We felt that the default settings were adequate and that these will apply only to experienced users.
The program's trial offers 30 conversions. With a professional interface, simple functionality, and special features that allow experts to dial in a perfect conversion, we found this program to be a good match for all skill levels.

"Right fit for us"
Version: Quick PDF Converter 4.1
Pros

"Won't uninstall!"
Version: Quick PDF Converter 4.1
Pros
Did an average job of converting a pdf document to word, but needed more editing than I would like for as sophisticated as it was purported to be.
Cons
The software will not uninstall. When I try to uninstall, it cannot find the installation log, which apparently is not anywhere on the hard drive, according to the windows search. Also does not start Word to view the file when complete.
Summary
This is absolutely one of the worst pieces of software I have ever downloaded from Cnet. Someone please recommend a sweeper software that can rid me of this albatross.
Okay, so maybe I'm just to stupid to let it finish the installation. But why does it require a restart? And why did it not do that before it allowed me to open the program? The restart prompt was hidden behind other windows. Got it off now, thank goodness.

"Reliable PDF Converter"

Pros
I had been looking for this kind of software for several months. In terms of quality, Quick PDF Converter has been a reliable software. I'd recommend quick pdf converter to anyone.
Cons
No negative points at this time.

"They billed my credit card 3 times for one download"
Version: Quick PDF Converter 4.1
Pros
None - the product appears to be scam
Cons
This so called OCR software only changes your pdf file to an IMAGE inside a word document. There is no OCR. The sample file they provide is a scam since that works just fine - but when you try to actually run the software on an existing file, all you get is an un-alterable image inside a Word document - and NO typed text. Tech support at the company won't respond at all. And they billed my card the $64.95 THREE TIMES.
Summary
This is apparently a scam. Fortunately, American Express will refund my payments - all three of them!

"Troubles at the beginning"
Version: Quick PDF Converter 4.1
Pros
None to report yet.
Cons
Tried to install twice from the cnet download file on my HP W7 laptop - the install hung each time. Went to the company's website and downloaded the install file from there, and installed no problem. However, the results for my first document were four blank pages in Word. Not promising, but I'll see if their tech support replies to my email for help.
Summary
Troubles on install and first use, but willing to give it the benefit of the doubt for now.

"Fully featured at good price"
Version: Quick PDF Converter 4.1
Pros
I used the software last week. Installed, ran perfectly right from the get-go. I didn't have to wrestle with a confusing interface (all too typical.) Quick PDF Converter performed as claimed.
Cons
None that come to mind.
