Dale, are you referring to pdftoword or AnyBizSoft PDF to Word Converter?

PDFtoWord is a web site conversion and does not install anything on your unit. I was talking about AnyBizSoft PDF to Word converter that locally converts. I would have thought it was clear but I guess not. Sorry for confusion.

No problem. I added to the confusion by naming the wrong software. I meant to ask if you were talking about Nitro PDF or AnyBizSoft, but it's clear now. Thanks.

I'm planning to download trial version of Nitro PDF. Meanwhile, I tested PDFtoWord conversion yesterday (plain text PDF) and also had impressive results. It's really strange that mojoe and others are having worse results with the locally installed payware product, but I need some other features in Nitro and [locally installed] freeware products have been a disappointment so far (get what you pay for).

Now the AnyBizSoft PDF to Word Converter is updated to V2.0.
The new version can support Word 2002, and much faster than V1.0

AnyBizSoft PDF to Word works fine. But I prefer the free PDF to Text converter. I often need quote some information from PDF documents, but most of them can not be copied directly. PDF to Text is really helpful for this.

I'm sure this isn't what you were looking for since its somewhat costly (and there don't seem to be many Adobe fans on MR), but Adobe Acrobat Pro has a very good PDF to Word coversion built in.

Several times a week I have to take faxes (don't these people own a computer?#@$!), scan them in to my computer and then use Acrobat's OCR Optimize, OCR Scan, and PDF to Word tools to get the contents to Word 2007. It stumbles over letters that were poorly formed on the fax, but otherwise produces documents with only a few errors per page. When starting with a text PDF, it consistently produces a clean, well formatted facimile in MS Word.

With the free tools available, these features don't justify the cost for ebook conversion, but if you already use it for business, it has great capability to perform your ebook tasks also.

For online pdf to word, www.zamzar.com not bad!

Thanks for your information here. I have tried several PDF to Word converters, I think AnyBizSoft PDF to Word is the best one. It is fast and even works with Office 2010 and Windows 7. That's really amazing.

Hi, i use hello pdf to word converter. It can convert all pages of pdf to word easily and fast. works well for me!

I used recently Fine Reader 9 to convert a big PDF in A4 format to a HTML file.

I think an HTML output is the most flexible format to deal with. It can later be very easily moulded into your own Reader format.

A little slow but faultless. Even the hypertext links were maintained. As far as the images are concerned:
- they were put apart in a separate folder
- they were also at their original place in the text but I had to resize them later to make them fit the 9x12cm format of my PRS-505.

Pretty good result.

Hi Roger,

I tried finereader too, as well as a number of the other recommended softwares on this thread. Most of them work well but one thing is driving me crazy and I'd appreciate if anyone could help me figure out how to fix this:

When I convert the PDF to a Word DOC file, most of the formatting is fine. however, all the softwares seem to insert a "paragraph + Sectionbreak" or "Paragraph end" mark at the end of the last letter/word on each page. Sometimes the PDFs will have an incomplete sentence that continues onto the next page. With these tools, things look fine, except these sentences get broken up mid-way into two paragraphs.

Is there any easy way to correct for this? Or is there any setting in either Finereader or any of the other tools here, that will automatically prevent paragraph breaks mid sentence if the sentence is being carried over to the next page? I'd appreciate any help...this is driving me nuts!

roger64 · 10-08-2009, 02:59 AM

Sorry for the delay in answering you.

I did not have any inconvenient end of line hard breaks when I used FineReader with an HTML output. I only get paragraph breaks, and that's why I say that an HTML output is very flexible.

So maybe, you should look carefully at your source. If it already includes end of line hard breaks, then probably, there is nothing FineReader + HTML can do.

I do not use Microsoft Word but OpenOffice 3.1 to deal with the HTML output coming from FineReader.

orion2001 · 10-08-2009, 03:18 AM

Thanks roger. I was able to fix things by outputting to HTML and using some Regular Expressions to clean up the spurious paragraph breaks. I detailed this here.
