Excellent multifuctional program. Of course there are minuses, but they aren't considerable (cons), for example there is no transparency of the watermark, the text and the last Protection function (To protect contents of the PDF file from extraction) doesn't work, at me it has turned out to take pages from the function of the same name.

Pluses:
1. Multilingual
2. When you add the text - the watermark, asks to choose coding (for the first time I see it)
3. It is possible to transfer from SEVERAL doc and docx of files to PDF at once
4. From images creates the PDF file
5. It is possible to connect and divide the PDF files
6. It is possible convert pictures to the rtf-file , the code of pictures is located:... pngblip\picbmp\picbpp4 .

Downloaded and installed perfectly. I always use an email address to download GOTD stuff as I don't have Facebook or Twitter or any of the other fancy stuff. Too old :). I never have any problems with my downloads either. Is it to do with the email address thing?

Anyway, in just a few short trials, it seems to work okay but not any better than the cloud based Cutepdf-editor which I presently use. I doubt that I'll keep it unless it proves superior in further testing. Haven't tried all of its options yet.

As for the "advice" from those who suggest to disable firewall/anti-virus/etc - you forget to add your bank PIN card number and all credit card details - because of course the internet is 100% safe.

Seriously - if anyone tells you do this don't it's not worth the risk.

Tried to instal three times after disabling kaspersky . Each time got a message that the files are corrupt. Restarted again downloaded and tried to instal as per the instructions of the GOTD. No use. I don’t think many people would be put to use of this give away when we get lot of these problems reported here. Pl do something...

I have a licensed copy of Adobe Web and Design Premium Creative Suite 6.0 (includes Acrobat Pro X) and MS Office 2007. Will this do anything that I cannot currently do, or do anything more easily than I can currently do it using those apps?

When I try to merge multiple PDFs, I get error messages like this. Please advise.

Appending LED soffit bulbs.pdf... Error (0)

Wish it would be available for Mac as well.

To the people that can't find their program, you are not reading the installation boxes. It tells you exactly where it's going to put it on your drive. At this opportunity you can choose where you want it installed. There is a shortcut icon on the desk top, if you're using Win 7 - 64.
Love the interface, very nice.
I download via email link, don't have the wrapper problem.

I download am, like others here, don't like the wrapper. If a registration code is included in the readme file, I download the install program from the program offered website. Otherwise I don't bother, even if I wish I could own the software.

Too bad it can't load a PDF and THEN offer tools to manipulate it ...

... it seems to be only a set of tools where you have to choose the tool first, then open whatever PDF you want to apply that tool to.

So ...

... in OTHER software, I open a PDF, and think ... "... oh, maybe I can edit this text, and insert a picture ..." ...

... so I close the file and exit that other software,

... then open THIS software,

... then choose a tool,

... hmm, no "edit text", only convert "PDF to text", or "extract text",

... hmm, no "insert picture", only convert "PDF to image" or "extract image".

Hmm.

PDFShaper does NOT "... make it easy to tailor the content of PDF files ..." as they claim, because it is NOT an editor, it is a bunch of CONVERSION TOOLS.

Correct me if I've misinterpreted today's offering, folks -- thanks.

Oh well, back to Adobe Acrobat, Pro ( Writer ), at least older versions are free.

Can you copy/paste information from the PDF files using this program?

It installed easily on my Win 10 pc. It converted a Docx document (MS Documents 2010 on). Copying parts of that document and editing it, destroyed the formating. In addition, it only seems to allow editing in txt. At least RTF is needed for more complex work.

I tried leaving feedback, but I was limited to just a few words. When I tested converting a document to PDF from DocX, I was told that I needed administrative privileges. I set the program link to run as administrator, that shouldn't be needed.

12mb download, simple install. End of installation auto-launches 2 browser windows, one saying registration is complete (no need to copy keys, etc.). Program launch confirms it is registered to GOTD. Program footprint is 20mb, takes about 3mb memory when running.

20 options to select from broken into 4 categories. Clicking one (PDF to TXT) opens another window where you can drag-and-drop PDF's into for conversion. Tried one 3mb PDF, a 50-page manual, and it converted decently to text in a second. Dragged 10 more into the interface and took under 10 seconds to convert. Tried the samd with PDF to Image which took a bit longer (same 10 PDF's) and the process ran a bit longer but finished in under 1 minute (based on system performance of course). Results of the image conversion was great: each page was turned into a 77-150kb sized JPG with the original files name and page number.

Tried the merging and splitting, worked as expected.

Tried the Extract Images function, was hit-or-miss depending on PDF. Glossy brochure-type PDF's (with real photo images within) it did a decent job, extracting individual images to a combination of BMP or JPG imges (30-500kb in size). The earlier manual mentioned had non-photo images, and (ride-on mower) and it made TIF images (18-70kb) of the full page, text and all.

Will have to keep playing with the program, but it is a nice little Swiss army knife for PDF's, has most of the functions you would look for in a utility. Will keep in my bag of tricks, so thanks GOTD and PDF Shaper Premium.

I know this themida wrapper has problems with antiviruses and firewall, by that knowing I've disabled all antiviruses specifically in my pc is panda and fire wall, but today as was in few days when « Ant Download Manager Pro 1.7.9 was given away, I've been unable to install, I keep on getting error message;
"failed to connect, please try again later!" thought internet connection is good!
since I've not yet discovered an issue, I will be missing all apps which will be offered in that format! I will wait the day when setup with its key is provided
aah, noway.

Hi GAOTD,

Downloaded the Software, It popped up, " Successfully Activated ", Now where the hell the installation happened. Does it installed SILENTLY in my System, if Yes.. How to Run it.. I am not able to Find it anywhere in PC, I searched the whole PC with Search Everything Software..

Can you please Help

Will not install on my main Win7 PC. and unfortunately, its the GAOTD wrapper causing problems.

AGAIN.

Have tried all the steps in the read me file, white-listed the files in Avast, disabled Avast, restarted with Avast disabled. No joy, it will not work on this machine.

Which is a shame, as there are times when being able to extract small sections from .pdf files quickly and easily would make my life easier - I create training presentations, and need to reference material which trainees are provided (e.g. displaying a small paragraph from a training pamphlet).

GAOTD, please please please consider dropping the wrapper - is it really necessary when software requires registering to use anyway?

It is useful.
However, I would have liked it to extract text using OCR. Tested a scanned pdf and it could not extract text out of it.

Free OCR is what I use. (I am not promoting it!)

Thank you very much, downloaded and installed on XP-PRO-SP3 without any difficulty. Had to reboot before the prog. ran properly, - then simple and straight forward! Thanks again for a great prog, will tell my friends.

Thank you very much for this Giveaway - been looking for software to be able to edit a pdf by converting etc. Tried a few complex PDFs ( with pix and odd formatting) and it works acceptably. Simple PDFs are converted well. I've been frustrated with recent years' Adobe free readers, very limited functionality.

The program has been downloaded, installed and activated, that's at least what it tells me. But then I can't find nowhere the program on drive C:.
Waste of time.

I can't install either, it downloads but nothing happens. Keeps saying successfully activated but the setup won't seem to run. I downloaded twice.

You must have read my mind. My son is visiting and needs a PDF merge tool and I couldn't find a free one, so this works great. I really have no need for one and didn't want him to have to buy one while he is here. Many thanks

I've used the free edition of this program for a while and like it.

According to the help file ...
"Premium edition expands Free edition by offering additional tools, allowing to:
·Add watermark to PDF documents
·Convert Word DOC/DOCX to PDF
·Protect content of PDF documents"

As I've no need to add a watermark or protect content, and conversion of DOC/DOCX to PDF can be achieved in other ways, I'll stick with the free version and benefit from future updates.

I understand and believe that the setup files are clean, but such inconvenience will greatly discourage people to try and use such software. To me, I don't mind to pay for a clean software. However, such free and suspicious software, like many keygen and cracked programs, bring lots of problem.......

PDF Shaper

wow so easy to install small presence on the pc i loaded a old pdf i did about 3 years ago and opened it with no problems i tidied it up a bit and it look 100% better than it did

this is a keeper for me

many thanks

It seems to do hardly anything that Acrobat — even a very early edition — will do. As I have Acrobat I feel no need for this. But for someone who does not, then if it works it is an essential.
