PDF to DOC

PDF to DOC is a simple-to-use Windows tool designed to turn PDF files into documents supported by Microsoft Word and WordPad, namely DOC and RTF format, respectively. It does not feature complex options, so it can be used with confidence by anyone, regardless of previous experience with PDF processing utilities.

The setup procedure is fast and does not require special attention, thanks to standard options. As far as the GUI is concerned, PDF to DOC opts for a small window with an organized layout that makes navigation extremely easy.

PDFs can be added to the task list using either the file browser or drag-and-drop support. Multiple files can be scheduled for processing at the same time, in order to reduce overall task duration, which is particularly handy when working with numerous PDFs at once.

The file list shows the name, size, total and selected pages, along with the status for each entry. Apart from pointing out the desired output type and saving directory (same as the source files or anything else), it is possible to handpick only specific pages from the PDFs, by establishing the page range.

When a conversion job is finished, PDF to DOC offers to open the output file. Users may also perform this action without leaving the interface, as well as remove an entry from the job list or clear the entire queue to start a new PDF conversion session from scratch.

The tool does not take a long time to finish a task, during which it remains light on the system resources. On the other hand, it failed in its attempt to do this on several occasions during our evaluation, although it did not specify the nature of the errors.

On top of that, it does not feature advanced settings for more experienced users, such as output document customization. Taking these aspects into account, PDF to DOC's price is not justified. Users may resort to cheaper apps that offer the same functionality.
