To get this free PDF converter all you need to do is give an Email to Avanquest (I suggest a disposable one) then click on the link provided (the one on the left. You'll be taken to a page which when translated reads:
======================================================================

If the download does not start within 10 seconds, click here!
Size: 41.1 MB
Do not forget to note your serial number. It will be necessary to install your software.

It's quite easy to see serial number (when you click the appropriate links) and where the download link is. I got one of those active X message bars popping up, so to download the file you will have to click on the yellow bar and select download file, which is 41Mb in size.
Thank you very much ender. I will compare this with the one I bought. I hope it's better :)
Avantquest have been giving a lot of software away recently. Until I signed up for a news letter from their French site a couple of weeks ago (following another offer, I received very few emails from them, but since signing up to the French site last week I've been getting a special offer Email every day. Don't let this put you off though because Emails are easily deleted. And as I suggested just use a disposable one. You don't need anything from an Email to get the program up and running.
Once the program has been installed you will be asked to register the program, which means giving your Email out again, plus a few other details.
The main difference between this program and the one I bought recently is that this one only converts PDF documents to word, text, html or excel documents, but not the other way around like the program I recently bought (Expert PDF v5).
I've tested it and unless the PDF document has been password protected (quite a lot are) it's really easy with the wizard provided to convert the PDF documents. You may ask why you would want to convert a PDF doc to word or one of the other formats. Well the main reason I see is that unless you have a very expensive PDF editor, you cannot edit PDF documents. At least this program allows you to do this, but unfortunately you can't convert the edited PDF document back into PDF. Still for free who's complaining.

you are welcome whiterabbit!
i am sure, all english speaking fans will appreciate your help :D
the thing is, why i dont use a software for my pdf conversions is, i maybe need it once in a month or so, and therefore, the online converter like
http://www.media-convert.com
http://www.zamzar.com
(in both directions, from PDF to word, and from word to pdf, and other formats)
do all the conversions that i need.
and they allow files up to 100 MB, and my pdf files are seldom larger than 30 MB.

For those who have not looked at the Avanquest (France) site, they are currently (12th to 21st June) running a series of daily offers. One day it might be free software such as the subject of this thread, another it may be a range of heavy discounts on software to purchase.
As it is a French site, some of the software only installs in French, but other programs such as this PDFTransformer and Idiomax (a translation program) allow installation in English.
