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.
