Free PDF to DOC/RTF converter – promises a lot
By Paul Biba
If this works it could be really useful to many of us. I’ve tried the free Amazon converter for the Kindle, but it doesn’t work a lot of the time. Unfortunately I don’t have any PDFs in my queue to convert, but please try this out and post your comments. Here’s what the site says:
Using our PDF-to-Word conversion technology, you can quickly and easily create editable DOC/RTF files, making it a cinch to re-use PDF content in applications like Microsoft Word, Excel, OpenOffice, and WordPerfect.
Best of all, it’s entirely free!While it’s not possible to replicate the exact formatting and appearance of the original file used in creating a PDF, we believe our free PDF-to-Word converter produces more accurate results than any other tool out there, including the most expensive desktop products.
When you need to quickly re-purpose PDF content in Word, it must also be well formatted. Unlike most PDF-to-Word converters, we use the full range of formatting and layout tools available — including paragraphs, columns, tables, and margins — making pages much easier to edit and manipulate. Pictures, photos, vector images, and Excel charts are all examples of graphical elements that might be contained within PDF files.
Our PDF-to-Word converter is designed to convert and accurately re-position all of these upon conversion. Even for complex drawings and shapes with textures, patterns, and fills, we replicate the images, while maintaining editing capabilities

I use this converter. I love it. I have an Ebookwise reader, so PDF > RTF is very simple. It’s no hassle, and pretty fast unless there’s a ton going through at once. It’s also very good with formatting. Better than some I’ve tried. Ebooks are commonly sold in PDF form. One word: It won’t change DRM’d files.

For my purposes, it’s only valuable if it’s smart enough to style and tag text that has the same format, distinguishing between headings, normal body text, and inset quotations. Only then is the layout editable. Just crudely replicating font type, size and text indentation isn’t that valuable.

Great, it works well for a small PDF, but it takes a long time uploading large PDF files.

pretty good so I wanna share it here.

I agree with Cosa Nostra. I would like to recommend one more way to convert from PDF to Word format: using PDF Converter – http://www.pdftodocconverterpro.com
With this program, you can convert the PDF file to Word or Excel, edit it, and then convert back to PDF if needed. It is very quick and easy and they also have a completely free version that does not expire.
