I am a small potato in this office so I need to run errands for my boss every day. My main job is to pick up some useful information from document sea for my boss. However, to my headache, when I can meet some PDF files, I can not copy the useful content it it, I have to type it word by word. When I hear the boss calling "Amerlia, where is the material for today meeting?", I can feel my heart nearly go out of my mouth. To end this kind of status, I search for converter which can help me extract text part from PDF file.
To my surprise, it is so easy to find software which claim themselves that they can convert PDF to word, text or Excel easily. Some of them are not allowed to have a try before pay for it. I will not have even a glance of them. Some of them are generous, they can be tried many times before pay for it. PDF to word Converter is one of the generous one. I downloaded to it to my PC then tried many times and I got some comments for it.

Interface:
Function: Convert normal PDF file to word document but some of PDF files can not be converted. I consulted VeryPDF support team for this problem. They told me that this software did not have OCR function and it could not convert PDF file containing embedded fonts to word document. But one function gives my friends a reason to buy this software that it can be called from MS DOS Windows.
Good aspects: It is cheap, only $39.95 but allows me to use it forever. It is easy to use. When converting the normal PDF file to word document, it behaves excellent. It allows me to try 100 times. It is the combination of GUI version and command line version. Batch conversion is good in CMD version but it is a little weak in GUI version.
Bad aspects: Its interface is a little ugly and it can not convert all the PDF file to word file. It does not have OCR function. Batch conversion is a little bad. It can not list the added files information. It can not recognize writing style.
