Cons of this tool: The conversion quality is not worth the conversion time. Whatever, it does convert the file.

2. Hello PDF to Word converter

The newest version of this application is 1.1, it seems that the developer hasn’t upgraded this free version since November 2008. It can convert all pages or selected pages from PDF file to Word document and automatically open the output Doc file when the conversion is done. What I want to highlight is its conversion speed. It only spent me 1 min to convert a 20 M PDF file.

Cons of this PDF to Word converter is that it does not support the Adobe PDF 1.7. And one thing I have no idea to figure out is that why the outputs always shrink to the left-upper corner of pages, every page does!

3. Advanced PDF to Word Converter

The size of this application is 8M. the installation requires a reboot. When running this program, you should close your Office and it can only convert part of the PDF file pages. The default output file is C/Output but sometimes you cannot find anything in this folder after the PDF to Word conversion. I think it is just a trick that leading you to buy they registration version! Frankly, this free PDF tool “is not my type”.

Part 2, convert PDF to Word document free online

OK, below is some famous free online PDF to Word converter.

1. PDF online, PDF online.com

This free service is powered by BCL easyConverter SDK. In my opinion, this is the best free online PDF to Word converter, the images, the layout and the text are well retained. Directly upload your PDF files and wait for a moment. There will be a download link returned, just download the converted file with this link. No Email address required, and the speed is high enough! PDF-Online

Cons: Then the only disadvantage I have found is the output file is too big, I tested a 415 KB?16 pages PDF file and found the converted file is 397 M. But, anyway, I think this online tool is on the top of all the free PDF to Word conversion service.

2. Nitro free PDF to Word Converter

It lets you upload PDF files through a web interface and will then send the converted file via email as an attachment. Compared to BCL easyConverter above, you must be more patient because I have waited for about 2 hours to get my converted file and the quality is not as good as BCL easyConverter. If you need the converted file in a hurry, it may not your choice. And, if your file is more than 10 M, you cannot use this service.
Nitro PDF

Cons: The conversion service is not stable, many of my pdf files were failed to be converted.

3. Solid PDF to Word online

Solid document is the leading provider for PDF to Word solutions. But the online service is not as famous as their desktop applications. To use it, go to freepdftoword.org, select your conversion options and click a button to make an e-mail message appear with the settings you've chosen. Attach your PDF file and click send. Its servers will convert the file and e-mail your converted Word Document back to you.

Koolwire is a web service that allows you to upload a PDF file or send it via email as an attachment, will convert it to RTF format for you, and will email the converted document back.

6. Adobe email conversion service

Adobe provides a PDF conversion service by email similar to Koolwire. However, it seems that only conversion to HTML is offered (no RTF or DOC). But convert HTML file to Word file is simpler. For more info, go to the following link http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/access_onlinetools.html

7. Gmail to Convert PDF to HTML
