I previously made a comment, but today I see that it is gone, as though it never existed. My comment was that this program hung up on trying to convert simple, plain PDF text files as small as 2k to Word documents. I am using Windows 10 and Word 2003. Is there any incompatibility at work here? If so, can it be remedied? If not, this program is useless to me.

You can open and convert a PDF file in WORD. How is this program superior in this regard?

Naturally the six month licence was a bit of a turn-off, but as the program at 8MB was small by modern standards, I thought I'd give it a go.
All in all, I was pleasantly surprised. It downloaded and installed quickly, and even ran on XP. Conversions, particularly of text-based files, were quite fast, helpfully saved by default in the source folder and even looked just like the originals. Furthermore, when converting to pdf it didn't make every character a separate element, and when converting to Word it didn't place every sentence or paragraph in a text box, so in all these ways it avoided the pitfalls of much of the competition.
Now I am wondering whether to pay the $10 to get a permanent licence...

Registration was a bit lengthy but I was successful in downloading and installing the software. My attempt at converting a PDF file to Word was unsuccessful. I have tested countless programs (beyond Acrobat), and 90% of them simply convert the PDF to a jpeg and not an editable Word document. This too, unfortunately is in that group. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? I have found a few online PDF to Word converters that do work. The other feature of this program is to convert Word to PDF. There are many (most are free) that can do this so I see no value with purchasing this software for that sole feature.

When generating PDF from Word documents, does it preserve headings as bookmarks in the output PDF? Does it preserve hyperlinked Tables of Contents in the output PDF? Is the output PDF-A print compatible?

Thanks
