Wondershare PDF Converter

Wondershare PDF Converter is a simple and straightforward document conversion tool that transforms your PDF documents into both editable HTML and Office files (Word, PowerPoint, or Excel) and into EPUB e-books or image files. Its support for batch conversion allows you to convert any number of PDF files at once into the output format selected.

The program allows you a certain level of customization, both at the source PDF file level and at the output format level. At the PDF level, you can tell the program to convert the entire document or only a selected page range. At the output format level, however, customization is not that limited. In this case, settings will vary according to the selected output. Thus, when converting a PDF file into an EPUB e-book, you can decide whether to convert both the text and the images into a reflowable EPUB book or to transform the pages in the PDF file into a series of images. Conversion into Excel will allow you, on one hand, to have a separate sheet for every PDF page or to combine all pages into a single Excel sheet, and on the other hand, to retain or ignore formatting when transferring information from PDF pages to Excel cells. Conversion into image files let you extract any images in the source PDF file or to convert each page in the PDF into a full image. Either way, the resulting images can then be saved as JPG, TIFF, PNG, BMP or GIF files. For reasons beyond me, when converting into Word or PowerPoint, you will find that no advanced settings have been made available for these output formats.

Regrettably, you will not be allowed to assign a different output format to each PDF document in the conversion list, so that in order to convert a PDF file into multiple formats you will need to set up multiple conversion tasks. Apart from these two minor limitations, this PDF conversion tool will still produce fast and good-quality batch conversions into any of the output formats supported.
