Lots of comments about downloading and installing...
But what do you actually think about this software?

I did a simple PDF to Doc test and I'll show part of the text below...

PDF in:
______________________________

To simplify and improve all forms by making efficient use of design resources - minimising printing
costs, clerical effort and processing time, and integrating the company's activity.

To reduce the number of forms used in the company to the minimum required to conduct the
company's business.

To establish responsibility for all forms.

To control the reproduction and purchase of forms.

To establish and maintain an effective numbering system for all forms used in the company.

To establish and maintain uniform standards for design and physical specifications.

To extend the use of well conceived and proven forms to the greatest possible extent and, as far as
practicable, to adopt the best form where a number serve a similar purpose.

------------------------------------------------------------

It would appear there are a number of kerning and/or ligature issues.

And a few additional notes:

- In my test PDF, the above text used a Times New Roman font. I purposely did a find/re[place on the word "company". In the PDF, the word "company" still used the Times New Roman font. But all instances of that word in the converted DOC file substituted an Arial font. (Everything else in the converted DOC file was still Times New Roman).

- A sentence that had this format: "Word, word word word..." messed up the punctuation.
For example:
PDF: The aim of this draft is to illustrate the concepts to the Forms Analyst. Ideally, it should be
DOC: The aim of this draft is to illustrate the concepts to the Forms AnalystIdeally,. it should be

- The word "major" came out as "maior".

There were other issues, but I've already gone on a little too long.

Myself, I will do more testing.
But, as it stands now, I wouldn't recommend using this software unless you plan to vigorously proofread the end results and make corrections as necessary.

Understand, it isn't necessarily this "PDF to X" software that is causing all of the issues. Many of the issues may have already been there, but weren't detectable by a "PDF viewer" or on a printout.

I say this because... the majority of PDF's are not created with Adobe Acrobat or LiveCycle or any similar PDF creator. Those would probably convert nicely with "PDF to X".

Instead, most PDF's are originally Word Doc's or Excel or PowerPoint or other formats, that have been converted to PDF. That original conversion can itself cause issues. A typical file produced with word processing technology is vastly different than the PDF technology used in the converted PDF file. Things can get messy.

And, if that original word processing file wasn't even built very well in the first place, which is quite often the case, you can't expect "PDF to X" to convert it cleanly.

GIGO applies.

Cheers

I converted two PDF image-type documents to MS Word RTF format. Word showed only their tables of contents and nothing else. Am I correct in thinking that this program is for text-only documents? If so, it is a no-go for me.

Frank D,
The description on this page is silent about OCR and comment #4 below asked TriSun Software whether the software contained OCR but TriSun Software hasn't replied.

Without OCR, it cannot convert PDF image-type documents.
