PDF to Word Converter is an app that lets you turn an ordinary PDF file into a Word document that you can share with others. If you ever wanted to quickly send an email without a large attachment and without slowing down your computer, this app can help.

The app comes with a series of buttons across the top that let you make your conversions and get some help. When you click on the help button, you can scroll down and click on the video tutorial. This is a short video that walks you through exactly how to use the app. It also covers some of the questions you might have. If you have any other questions, you can contact the developers behind the app.

Using this app is easier than doing the conversions yourself. You can click inside a box to find the PDF file you want to convert. This brings up a list of files on your computer and lets you find the right folder or area of your computer and then select the right file. It then shows you the total number of pages in that file and lets you choose between converting all pages, just one or a set number. You can even add page numbers to the file.

Though the app tells you where it will save the new Word document, it also gives you the option of choosing a different location and giving the file a new name. You can also choose whether or not to include any images in the original file in the conversion and whether you want the app to automatically open the file after the conversion finishes. Keeping the file closed lets you immediately do a second conversion without wasting any time.

The Pro version, which you can access through the app, makes the process even easier. This version lets you drag and drop your PDF files into a window and then automatically convert one or more files at the same time. You can even add and convert an entire folder of PDF files into Word documents. A clear button lets you clear out all the files that you selected to avoid any accidents.

One possible issue with this app is that it comes with a lot of ads. It also features pop-ups that ask you if you want to upgrade to the Pro version, which costs extra. Closing those windows can be frustrating, especially when it happens multiple times during a single conversion. The app has a tendency to ask you about other programs and apps and make suggestions of apps you might like. If you can overlook those issues, PDF to Word Converter can make converting files easy.
