As popular as they are, PDF files come with a big downside: they can be edited only using sophisticated, expensive software.
FM PDF To Word Converter Pro is a simple and straightforward application that can batch convert multiple files at the same time. Its conversion speed is also pretty good, so this handy program can save you a lot of precious time when converting PDF files to Word documents.
Though it makes use of advanced algorithms to properly recognize all the elements of the input PDF files, such as tables, lists, images, formatting, etc., the accuracy of this tool is not its strongest point. There were cases during my testing when it failed to properly preserve the layout of the original document during the conversion. Anyway, these were rare occurrences.
Cutting long story short, FM PDF To Word Converter Pro is worth a try. It may work flawlessly with your conversions, it’s easy tonuse, and it can be tested for free.
Pros
- Can convert to DOC, DOCX, and RTF
- Easy-to-use
- Supports batch conversions
Cons
- Complex page structures and layouts are not always converted with accuracy
- A bit pricey
Version 4.0 is the best PDF to Word batch processing software, I think.
I have tried many free converters and online PDF to Word converters. But this one (gotten free from GiveAwayOfTheDay) was the only one that did the job well on my test PDF.
As the editor said, this program does a very good job of converting PDF text to Word, but doesn't always keep the structure well. I haven't tried converting images, so I'm not sure how good it is for that purpose.
