It would certainly help if he were to post some examples of how this program cleaned up PG text files.
Without actual concrete evidence it is difficult to take his claims seriously.
The word macro (the last version I used) uses the "find page break" "replace with null" approach, which does remove the breaks (but only a certain kind) but doesn't leave out the breaks that were intentional (like a fullstop, title or a bullet point) JSwolf, if you use some random text from the internet, then you weren't using it as it is suggested and advertised on their sales page were you? which is copying text from a .pdf and pasting it in word, as simple as that.

Sure, only because 2 of you are asking for it, I can take a random .pdf from gutemberg, convert it and post the results.
