Pros

  • Free PDF to Word converter without needing to pay for a premium Acrobat subscription

  • Easy to use, one click and go. Program is very responsive

Cons

  • Formatting gets misinterpreted often

AnyBizSoft PDF to Word is a simple tool that is designed to make PDF files editable by converting them to Microsoft Word (.docx) format. Users can then re-export the file as a PDF after making any changes needed.

The first thing we noticed about AnyBizSoft's converter is that the interface is clean and easy to use. There aren't too many different options, but it's great for general purpose conversions. There is a large "Add" button, and some more good news is that this converter can convert files in batch mode. In other words, you can add as many PDF files as you want, and the program will convert them all in one go. Gone are the days when you had to add files one by one.

Of course, like all converters of this nature, it does not work perfectly. For example, the converter sometimes will not interpret tables correctly, and the fonts and styling are often incorrect. This will vary by machine, but you should not expect the converter to get everything right. Overall; however, this is a solid product with a lot of potential. It's surprising this is freeware because it rivals paid products that perform similar actions. If you're looking for very precise conversions, you may want to look into other options. For people like students editing essays, office workers editing memos, and anyone who isn't a power user, this is a great tool.
