PDFtoWord is a free site that converts PDF files into Word documents.
This comes in handy when you have a PDF file that you need to edit and change and you don't have the proper, and expensive, software.
It's very easy to use. Go to the
site, select a file from your computer to upload and convert, and enter an email address where you want the Word document sent. That's it.
I used it to convert a 9 page, 3MB PDF file and it took about 15 seconds to upload. The converted file did not show up in my email inbox until later that evening. (it was graphic intensive too).
The converted file was pretty accurate with almost no errors, which I manually fixed in a few minutes. The quality of the conversion was really good.
Remember also that it will not be able to convert a file that was only an image, like a file that was scanned. It will simply put that image as an image in a Word file.
This is really handy for taking files that were created with a print conversion (like
CutePDF) or from Acrobat and making them editable in Word. If someone created the PDF file by scanning a document, this will not convert it back since the scanning process converts everything into one image.
It's not bad for free. You definitely don't want to use this if you need the file converted immediately. You will want to plan ahead due to the delay in getting the file converted and the fact that you may have to do some manual editing of errors.
