Summary: Those Dreaded PDFs
Comment: Yes, it converts pdf files to word. No, it does not do a perfect job if you have tables or graphics; and the formatting tends to get messed up. BUT...it sure beats retyping a multi-page document.

Summary: Beware of Activation
Comment: One purchase is good for one install only! The activation blocks it from re-install. My laptop died and I was unable to install this on the replacement machine VAIO. Got total use of 4 months for $50 purchase!

Summary: I am glad to own it, but I am not taking it to the Prom.
Comment: As they would say on American Bandstand, I would give this title a 65 - the lyrics are ok but its easy to dance to. I do A LOT of pdf crap (and i hate pdf) both converting too and from. For some conversions (NOT COMPLEX GRAPHICS) it works well, for others it is so-so.
It does do a BETTER job, converting from pdf - at least on the long, complex-formated text documents - which are my primary beast of burden, than Adobe PRO 6.0. Howver Scansoft has some quirk's that potential buyers need to be aware of -
1. It messes up haeaders and footers - it captures them just fine but puts them in funky places as a table and of couse screws up the page numbering,,,
2. On occasion (and this is the frustrating part) it converts text into graphics,,,
3. It handles check boxes and the other vbs features of WORD poorly, often creating them as graphics
4. It routeinely messes up autonumbering, again often picking up a number and making it a graphic
However, having said all that - it is quicker/faster/better than Adobe Pro 6.0. for Word conversions. Sometimes its a dozen hand fixes per page, other times one or two, but i will gladly trade that for rekeying or scanning.
For the record, I have an old version of Omni-Pro and DID NOT try to use its features as suggested.
I am glad I own it but I dont think I am taking it to the prom.

Comment: This software is terrible. I've only turned a few PDF files into Word files but they are not even close to the original. Total waste of money for me.

Comment: I just purchased my PDF Converter for using on Microsoft Word. I have converted all of my legal texts in about 1 hour. This represents several hundred pages of documentation. Have reviewed for mistakes but could not find any. This works better than anticipated and will save thousands of dollars in man hours. Wish this would have been released sooner.

And those protected word files? I have found that if you make them pdf and then convert them back to Word with this program, you now have a document that you can edit. Yaaaah!!!!

Good luck if your hard drive crashes or machine dies.
