How do you edit the Word documents after it has been converted from PDF?

I just tried your service. Frankly, I wasn't expecting much, given how I'd been struggling to get other things to import or convert a 180 page document that was nothing but tables. I'd spent HOURS trying various things, along with various manual editing, without getting anything acceptable. Then I found this site and your tool. I am… blown COMPLETELY away. It was EXACTLY what I needed, and converted the entire thing PERFECTLY! I cannot thank you enough!

I have just tried your PDF to Word conversion program for the first time. It uploads my file fine, but then says “The PDF file you have submitted is password protected and cannot be opened for converting You must remove the open password from the PDF prior to submitting it to our service”. I can open the PDF in Adobe Reader without entering a password, and I can then copy the text and paste it into Notepad or Word. What is your program complaining about, and how can I get it to convert my document?

Thanks – Rowan

I love your PDF to Word converter. I have compared your product to several others and have found yours to be head and shoulders above the rest.

Hi.

Congratulations for this GERAT service. I'm really surprised how good it works.

A few comments on things that don't work 100% yet:
- Formulas are converted pretty good, but the bounding box around them seems too small sometimes. The lower or upper half of a formula is cut off sometimes. Also, the layout gets a bit confused in two-column layouts. If there's a formula e.g.in the left column (where some parts are missing after the conversion), the text in the right column also gets cut off at the same vertical position.
- The color conversion for images embedded in CMYK-format does not work. The image in the word document itself is correct, but the colors are not right.

Hi.

Congratulations for this GREAT tool. I was really surprised how fine this service works.

Here a few remarks about features, which do not work 100% yet:
- Mathematical formulas are converted pretty good, but the bounding box around the formula seems too small. Sometrimes the lower or upper half of the formula is missing. Additionally, the vertical spacing gets confused in a two-column layout (e.g. formula in the left column distorts vertical spacing in the right column).
- Images embedded in CMYK-colorspace are not converted into RGB properly (image is correct, but colors are wrong)
