Free PDF to Word Converter is a tiny app that does what its name implies. Give it a PDF file, and you can convert it to Microsoft Word format.
PDF to Word in moments
PDFs are widely used, but require a reader or browser plugin, and furthermore they are not easy to edit. Free PDF to Word Converter quickly converts PDF files into Word .DOC files that you can edit. This free version is really basic, but still allows you to choose whether to convert your PDF with images or not.
All you really need to use Free PDF to Word Converter is the Input file field, which will open a Finder window so you can import your PDF, and the Start Conversion button, along with the four check buttons for its minimal options.
More buttons than necessary
Everything else on Free PDF to Word Converter either opens a web page, from a 'like us on Facebook' prompt, to 'donate to us via Paypal', and the developer's home page. You can also check out the 'Pro' version of the app. This is included in the installation as a demo, which you can buy from the app. The pro version has a cleaner and larger interface, with many more options and useful things like a preview pane.
Free PDF to Word Converter gives you pretty good converted Word files. The formatting is not always great, but once you have all the content from a PDF in Word, you can easily edit it yourself.
A neat little app with too many unwanted extras
The only real criticism we can have of Free PDF to Word Converter is the sheer volume of buttons and links designed to make you pay for the pro version and so on. The installer also has a lot of 'offers' which you need to decline if all you want is this app. Having the pro version installed with this free version also means it takes up more disk space than necessary - although you can uninstall that separately.
