  nice program overall

  by: FloridaSwamp on 13-May-2008 08:57:00 PM

  Pros: did what I needed it to do.

  Cons: The pro version of this product is a hundred times better at converting to word. I don't know why but it is. You figure that it uses the same conversion engine but I got diffrent results. You can find the pro version on there website. (there website can be really slow loading at times)

  Very good for converting pdf tables to text.

  by: brent3600 on 11-Apr-2008 08:35:39 PM

  Pros: Conversion is reasonably fast. Accurate for horizontal text, including table contents and column headings. I needed to convert pdf files that were full of tables into Excel (only the Professional version converts to Excel). Resulting layout in Excel is very nice and usable. User interface is not quite as full-featured in Professional version, but has zoom, etc.

  Cons: The only complaint I had is that vertically oriented text is ignored.

  Conversion to Word has a lot of bugs

  by: George20032 on 09-Mar-2008 10:43:34 AM

  Cons: Trial version does 3 pages at a time. It was hard to highlight exactly 3 pages. The regular form of conversion sometimes did very well. The resulting Word document is in a form that is some kind of hybrid that does poorly if you want to add existing copy which is also in DOC format.
