Free PDF to Word Converters anyone?

13 replies
Can anybody tell me of a good FREE PDF to Word converter that won't leave watermarks and lets you easily edit the document without stuffing up the formatting?
I have tried a few with no luck yet. The file is almost 4 mb which is too big for a few of them.

I await a good reply.

    Too many to count. BUT I think it may actually be the document that is the issue. My webmaster found one for me that works on a different PDF. The one I am trying to convert is 3.28mb and has a LOT of graphics and I think that is causing it to not format properly.

    So, reluctantly, I have told my client that we can't do what he wants with that document. Honesty is the best policy I believe.

    You can use Kernel for PDF to Word, Its has easy to use interface and capability of up to 50 conversions simultaneously places it well higher than the rest of the tools.

    wow. So many answers. I have solved my problem.
    Kernel doesn't seem to exist.
    Dave, your idea doesn't let me select a pdf for some reason.
    Thanks everyone for your ideas.

      Can you post how you solved your problem?

      BTW, I just copy everything and paste it in word. It works fine for my docs.

    I can sometimes copy/paste but some docs can't be done and also some docs are so big that it takes forever to do it that way.

    The doc I had to do had a lot of images as well and that really stuffed up the formatting when I did try.

    I use Nuance for my conversions and it works perfectly for me. They're the same company that make Dragon Naturally Speaking which is a talk to text program which I also use.

    Well, you can use Goggle Docs, upload the pdf file, the export/download the site as Word doc and you are done. I am not pretty of this method but I think you can try it as well.

    @ozank...it is NOT that simple or I would have done it. BUT I have solved my problem.
    There are many that don't do editing.
