Looking For a PDF to Word Converter?

I imagine I am not the only one in the world to feel the frustration of some great content in a PDF file that I am unable to edit or manipulate. Frustrated as I may be, I still refuse to pay the price tag to be able to edit PDF files; thus, my quest for a PDF to Word converter began.

Enter OCR Terminal (www.ocrterminal.com), a free (a requirement for much of my software) online (well, it's free, so I'll settle for online) service that allows you to convert scanned images and PDFs into editable and text searchable documents. It accurately (pretty much) preserves formatting and layout of documents too. You can download your convered documents in .doc, .txt, .rtf, or .xml formats.

This isn't a totally seamless process, because you do have to upload the file and wait for it to process, but if you are trying to get that PDF content into something you can actually manipulate, it is worth it. You are limited to 30 pages per day, but I think that definitely ought to cover the majority of people.

This might work great if you've got some great quiz questions in a PDF file that you'd like to actually import into your CPS software.
