We can always use online tools to convert Adobe PDFs to Word documents, but the same tools cannot be used to create a new PDF file. We must use a different tool to create a PDF file. The point is, generally, there are two simple problems we face while using any free tools:
- Free tools can only do specific tasks – if you want to merge a PDF, you have to download a PDF merging tool. For converting PDF files, you have to use a different tool.
- Free tools are not advanced – Sometimes complicated tasks, like converting PDF files in bulk, cannot be carried out through these free tools.
This is where commercial tools come into play — they provide a unified interface and experience where you can convert, create, and edit or merge PDF files. This week we are giving away a popular, and a pretty expensive, commercial PDF tool for free.
About PDF Converter Elite:
PDF Converter Elite 3, usually sold at $99, is a Windows utility that converts, reads, creates and edits PDF files. One can easily convert PDF files to Microsoft Office format, add new pages to an existing PDF file, or even extract the text out of a document, change a PDF page to HTML or simply batch convert PDFs into other file formats.
Features of PDF Converter Elite 3:
Create PDF files
Add any file of your choice – be it Word, Excel or a simple text file – and the program will convert the added file into PDF format. There’s also an option to secure and protect PDFs by setting up a new password. One can also hit the “create booklet” to create a booklet from any document.
Edit PDF files
It is possible to merge two or more PDF files, extract the text out of a PDF or even attach a file to the existing document. You can also insert new pages between a PDF file, delete them, rotate and resize pages or change the header and footer information.
Read PDF files
The tabbed feature makes it easier to open multiple PDFs and switch between them any time. You can also convert text from scanned and image PDFs to Word, Excel and PowerPoint effortlessly.
Add Watermark Text and Image to PDF
Any original content creator would like to copyright their materials. The “Watermark Text” feature lets you add a text to the existing PDF document.
One can add watermarks to all the pages, or only on the current page. Of course, you can position the watermark, change the font and its size anytime. The button next to this is “Watermark Image” that helps you add images (or your company’s logo) to any PDF page.
Batch Convert Documents
Simply add as many files as you want, and convert them to Excel, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, RTF (Standard, Frames or Text) formats. If your everyday work requires you to convert PDF documents, this is probably the best feature of the PDF Converter Elite.
Note: After testing the software for a couple of hours, I can confidently say the PDF Converter Elite is a tool I will be using regularly. All the good features have been listed above, but there’s one flaw I’d like to point out: you cannot directly edit the text within a PDF file. We have to convert a file to Word, edit it and then export to PDF format back again.
