Elgindy Document Converter

While many of us rely on Microsoft Word to write and edit documents, it is often necessary to convert these files to PDF to facilitate sharing. The reverse operation sometimes needs to be performed as well, and a simple utility that integrates all of these functions can come in handy.

Elgindy Document Converter is a fairly straightforward application that enables you to convert your DOC, DOCX and PDF files to either of the other two formats, and it is specially designed with batch processing in mind. However, the program still needs polish.

In order to add the files you wish to process, it is necessary to select their containing directory. You can also specify whether subfolders should be considered, and then click the Search button to have the program import all the relevant files.

Unfortunately, though, it is not possible to add individual files, and the application does not support drag and drop. Moreover, you cannot remove any of the loaded documents, so you have no choice but to process them all, even those that you may not need.

Aside from the fact that you cannot filter the imported documents in any way, it is also not possible to change the output location, as the program exports the processed files to the source folder regardless of that is entered in the “Target” field.

The program does not offer any advanced features. For instance, you cannot modify the properties of the output files in any way, merge multiple documents or insert watermarks.

In conclusion, Elgindy Document Converter is a reliable tool that enables you to convert files between the DOC, DOCX and PDF formats. Unfortunately, it lacks several important functions, but users who are looking for a no-nonsense conversion utility may wish to give it a try.
