Nifty little PDF to Word converter software (Windows)

Being a Mac user myself, the ability to “print to PDF” has been built-in for many years, so I make a lot of PDF files actually, just because it’s a lot easier to send a PDF file to somebody than a Word document that you never know how the recipient is going to interpret, depending on what kind of Word processor they are using. With PDF, you pretty much get what you see – on all computer systems.

But sometimes, you might need to go the other way back, that is, convert pdf to word. And that’s where this little nifty app comes in handy, if you’re a Windows user, that is. The app is conveniently called PDF to Word Converter and is made by Quick-PDF software. A single-user personal license is currently on discount at $29.95 and a business single user license is $49.95.
