Simple PDF converter

PDF UNdo is a simple program that allows users to convert PDF files into Word, text, or Rich Text Format documents. Although the program does not have a lot of features, it's easy to use and does a good job of converting documents.

The program's interface is basic and similar to that of Microsoft Office programs. Large buttons give users access to all of the program's features. Two frames to the left of the interface display the contents of the user's computer in a tree format, allowing users to find and open PDFs, but this seems … Read more

Mediocre PDF reader

PokatReader is a basic PDF reader with a few extra features. Although the program works well, the interface could be better, and a lot of the features it seems to have are actually only available by upgrading.

The program's interface is a little too basic for our tastes. The first screen is cluttered with an ad for the Executive version of the software and several other options, making it not entirely obvious how a user should get started. Beyond that the interface isn't bad, and we definitely like being able to flip through the pages of PDF files. … Read more

Is Adobe the next (pre-2002) Microsoft?

If you're a criminal and you want to break into a network, a common attack method is to exploit a hole in software that exists on most computers, has its fair share of holes, and isn't automatically updated.

In 2002, that would have been Windows. Today, it's likely to be Adobe Reader or Flash Player, whose share of vulnerabilities and exploits are on the rise while Microsoft's is falling.

Nearly half of targeted attacks exploit holes in Acrobat Reader, which is used to read PDF (portable document format) files, according to F-Secure. Meanwhile, the number of … Read more

Supposed conversion

Word Excel PowerPoint to Pdf Converter will supposedly convert Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents to PDFs; however, a trial restriction prevented us from seeing the full outcome.

We tested the trial version, which is so limited that we couldn't tell if the program works properly or not. We selected a Word and an Excel document to try with the program. We were informed that the trial version would only convert part of the documents; that for full document conversion we must purchase the program. We let the program convert our files, and when we viewed them, because of the … Read more

Confusing file conversion software

Neevia Document Converter Pro allows users to convert a variety documents into different formats. Although the program works well, it isn't always easy to figure out how to use it.

At first glance, the interface doesn't make much sense; after a few minutes of clicking around, we headed for the Help file, which comes with the program as a 98-page PDF. Thorough, yes, but a bit overwhelming, especially for users just seeking the basics on how to get started. Once we determined how the program works it was fairly easy to select a folder full of documents and … Read more

Basic image conversion

Image TIFF Jpeg Text to Pdf Converter led us to believe that this program converts image files, JPEGs, and TIFFs, as well as TXT files to PDFs. That is not the case. The program can convert JPEGs or TIFFs to PDFs, but does not support TXT files.

Image TIFF Jpeg Text to Pdf Converter's interface is bare bones but functional. The program does what it is set out to do, but there is no flair at all. The program allowed us to convert multiple files at a time, but produced a PDF of each file, rather than a PDF … Read more

Easy PowerPoint to PDF conversion

PowerPoint/PPT to Pdf Converter provides users with an easy solution for converting PowerPoint presentations to PDFs. Everything about this program is simple, from its interface to its self-explanatory functionality.

We started the conversion process by selecting a PowerPoint presentation that consisted of mostly images. It took a few minutes for the conversion process to finish, but once it was complete, the resulting PDF looked good. The only drawback that we found is that the program did not have any way of adjusting resolution or file size. We would have liked an option to reduce the file size, which would … Read more

Excel to PDF

Excel/Xls to Pdf Converter allows users to convert Excel spreadsheets to PDFs with a few simple clicks. The idea behind this program is good, but it's difficult to gauge the overall functionality thanks to several trial limitations.

Overall, the program is easy to use. Users have the option of converting single files or batch converting multiple files. The trial version does not allow batch conversion, and when we tried to convert a single Excel file, a window popped up to tell us that only part of the file was going to be converted, and that for full file … Read more
