My search for PDF to word file conversion software has not ended yet. Initially, I tried the online converter tools which were not up to the mark. Hence I had no other option but to try out the stand alone installed versions. Few readers of my blog suggested a number of such software tools. I found Adreamsoft’s PDF to word converter to be a good one with relatively good quality of converted files though I tried the beta version. Right now this tool is available free of cost for a limited period and soon this will cost about USD $29.95
This software can convert pdf files to either of word doc or docx formats. All you need to do is drag and drop the file into the main screen UI. Also, it is possible to directly right click on a pdf file and convert it to desired format. Though it is a bit sluggish for large files, quality is pretty good and easily editable after conversion. Following are the key features that the software maker claims, though I haven’t tested them exhaustively.
1. Convert PDF files to editable MS Word 2003-2007 formats (.doc, .docx).
2. Retain the original layout, format and images.
3. Convert entire document or only a specific page range.
4. Convert multiple PDF files to Word documents.
5. Convert PDF to Word quickly in shortcut menu by right-clicking the PDF file and selecting Convert with Adreamsoft PDF to Word.
6. Convert encrypted (copy, print and edit restricted) and password- protected PDF to Word documents.
7. Support PDF 1.0-1.7 formats.
If you are looking for similar tools, I think the search stops here. I am pretty contented with Adreamsoft’s pdf to word converter on Microsoft Windows. Only thing that I could wish for is to make this tool available for Mac OS X!

Use Windows dude and never worry about softwares
I don’t know why people use Mac and Linux even when they are frustated with their working, oh man VPN is not working, no modem driver present etc. etc.
Use OS which has everything to provide a platform on top of which all softwares can run.
Good thought… Virus and malicious software comes free of cost along with spurious softwares which I don’t want you see…
I had to reformat and install windows atleast 3 times in past 2 years because of such virus attacks! I wouldn’t buy a computer again with windows.
I am sorry to hear that.. btw, was that an original windows edition?
But the Apple Book is so beautiful so I let myself be seduced into buying one.
Thanks for sharing. I were just looking for a PDF converter on google and came across your blog. Except the little slow conversion speed, Adreamsoft tool does well especilly its layout quality.
Thanks for visiting my blog and your comment. Yeah, even I have experienced the slowness. But I think it is the same with any other software as well.
Thanks for sharing this, Mohan!
You are most welcome! Nice to see you visiting my blog frequently.
Can it convert the images to text also , i mean to say some kind of OCR !
Hi Ruchi, I haven’t tried that. You can try it yourself by downloading the software free, which is available only for a limited period.
