Bookworm's Musings

Look at what I found!
Free PDF to Word Doc Converter 1.1
I tested it on a PDF file with images and a complex text layout, and it works beautifully! Easy and intuitive to use, it's perfect for converting PDF zines and ebooks into a more versatile, readable format. (I haven't tested it on commercial pdf ebooks, just fanfiction, FYI.)
PDF files are great for printing, but not so great for onscreen reading. If you zoom the text to a comfortable size, you often end up having to drag the page back-and-forth across the screen, line-by-line, which is hardly practical. But if you leave the text size as-is, headaches and eyestrain usually ensue.
With this converter, you can convert the PDF to a word document and either read it there or save it as html to read in your browser, where you can zoom the text size to suit your needs. Perfect.
You can also use this to make copying and pasting from PDFs easier - very helpful for research.
I have been looking for a tool like this for a long time!
