ScanSoft - PDF Solutions - PDF Converter 3
This is a pretty revolutionary product that integrates with MS Word and provided much need functionality at the fraction of cost of Adobe Acrobat. You need to have MS Word to install the product, as it is a plug-in, and not a standalone program. Integration is seemless: you have addition item Open PDF in the file menu.
Based on my experience it converts pretty complex documents and presentation from PDF to MS Word 2003 with rather high quality. Conversion quality is excellent (almost perfect for text in all documents that I tried). Presentation are also converted very well (those that I tried were rather simple, mainly text slides PDF presentations.
I did not test it documents with complex layout (newspaper type documents).
You can convert from MS Word format to any Supported by MS Word formats including HTML, but generated HTML is very complex.
I also noticed that long documents conversion is rather slow.
