Zamzar Online File Conversion

Has anyone tried Zamzar? It's free online file conversion.
From Gizmo's newsletter:

Subscriber...writes, "Gizmo I found this file conversion site and it's a winner. You should take a look." Well I did...and it is very good. It handles five image formats, 14 document formats, 11 video and nine audio. Just point to a file on your PC, select the output format and the file is uploaded to the Zamar server. Then you get an email with a link to the converted document. It's free but do read the terms of service. There's nothing threatening in it but you should be aware of such things before uploading any of your files to a third party site.

I just tried this with a PDF to RTF conversion. It works but you have the same limitation with most pdf conversions; there are paragraph marks at the end of each line. The start of a paragraph was indicated by an indent. So, I see no way to do a search/replace to remove the inappropriate paragraph marks while keeping the appropriate ones.
