PDFs are useful, very useful. As the name suggests, they are truly portable. They make our jobs easier to quite an extent. But they are not usable or edit-able to be more apt. You cannot make changes in PDF file. To do that, you have to first convert the PDF into some other format like Word, PowerPoint, etc. There are many options available on the internet to do that. When we say many options, we mean really many. In fact, these many options can actually confuse you. You cannot know about a particular PDF Converter before using it and using one and then realizing that there could be a better option is a turn off. Don't worry, let us help. What we have done to solve this issue is that we have contacted some prominent PDF Converting Service Providers that you will easily find on the internet. They are as follows:
a. Convertpdftoword
b. PDF Converter
c. Cometdocs
d. Investintech
We asked them all a common set of questions, which are the general queries of consumers like you and us have. We bring you all their answers compiled, so that it becomes a little easier for you to choose from the many to suit your requirements the best.
Have a look at the small Q&A session we had with some PDF Converting Service Providers and see what they told us. Our purpose is not to compare them but just to tell you more about them and make your work easier.

b. Cindy from PDF Converter:
PDFConverter.com's free online PDF conversion service caters to users who are looking for a quick, easy, reliable and accurate way to convert their PDF online to popular Microsoft Office formats like Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and also create a PDF from just about any document format. Some of its main advantages, apart from being simple to use and its high quality conversion output, are:
No need to install anything on your computer, as the service is completely web-based, so users can send files for conversion from anywhere, anytime.
supports the conversion of scanned PDFs and can create editable digital files from paper documents
no file size limit: users can convert files of all sizes - entire books if need be.
It's completely safe with guaranteed privacy and file content protection.
At PDF Converter.com, we are constantly listening to our users and doing our best to meet their PDF conversion and management needs. For example, many of our regular users asked us to enable them to convert their scanned PDFs and PDFs of any size. That is why we've recently included OCR technology in our online service. We've been utilizing it in our professional PDF converter desktop solution, PDF Converter Elite 3, for years and since our online service users requested it, we have extended it to them as well. This responsiveness to our user needs and requests, teamed up with the above mentioned features, are the main reasons why users choose our PDF conversion service.
c. Carla from Cometdocs:
The main advantage of our service is the fact that it gives users a vast array of options when it comes to deciding how they want to use Cometdocs. It can be used on any platform, via web browser, via desktop app or on via mobile device.
Of course, another great benefit is that all of the conversion services are free. Users get five free conversions each week with no limits on file size. Most similar services charge for each conversion or give free conversions that are limited to only several pages. We do not impose such limitations on our users.
But the biggest advantage is the quality of our conversions. We perform some of the most accurate file conversions in the industry. Our PDF to Excel capabilities have been lauded by users especially. PDF to Excel is a difficult conversion to perform, because rows and columns need to be recognized and defined. However, our conversion algorithm does a great job with this conversion.
Another advantage that should be mentioned is that Cometdocs is not solely a file conversion service. It is a full-fledged document management service that offers free cloud storage, file transfer and sharing options, and more.
d. Reena from Investintech:
Our conversion technology is based on cultivating a better user experience when it comes to PDF conversion. This is reflected in the way we build and offer our products to the public.
Take, for example, Able2Extract's custom PDF to Excel conversion option, its selective conversion features, and more than 10 conversion options. Our tools are built with features that let users tailor their conversions intuitively and with a flexibility not found anywhere else. We provide a full-featured solution users can afford.
Second, we make it easy for anyone to access a PDF converter. Our software caters to users on all 3
major operating systems: Windows, Mac and Linux. Not only that, but we can also accommodate enterprise businesses and developers. Our converters are even available on Android and iOS mobile devices and as free online apps on Facebook. Thus, no matter how large the business is or what level the user is at, our conversion technology is available to everyone.
Lastly, we help our users wherever possible, whether via online, through email or over the phone. Our support team is focused on ensuring that our users are always getting their questions and issues answered.
Q2. Once the converted file is received, what happens to the uploaded file?
Answers:
a. Bilal from Convertpdftoword:
It will be deleted from the server automatically. We do not store your files ,or give them over to any other service. All the conversion process is done under one roof (server system), and after the files are safely deleted from the server. You can be rest assured that you have the only copy of your file, now and forever.
b. Cindy from PDF Converter:
Files are stored on our server for 24 hours after the conversion process is finished. Users can download the converted file within that time frame through a private, unique link sent to the email address they provided. All uploaded and converted files are permanently deleted after 24 hours as a way to protect the privacy of the users' documents.
c. Carla from Cometdocs:
If the user is unregistered, the original file and the converted version are stored for a period of 24 hours, giving the user more than enough time to download them. They are deleted from the server after this 24-hour period. If the user is registered and has an online account, the file is stored within the user's account automatically. From within the account, the user can decide whether he or she wants to delete it, store it, share it with others, etc.
d. Reena from Investintech:
In addition to the above offerings, we have online converters accessible from our site that convert .DOCX to .DOC and PDF to HTML. Once a user uploads a file to those conversion services, the file gets converted by our conversion algorithms and is sent back to the user instantly. The files converted through our online .DOCX to .DOC converter are stored on the server for 24 hours after which, they are deleted. For our PDF to HTML converter , converted files are stored for up to 6 months and then are deleted. The user's data is kept confidential and secured at all times.
Q3. What promotional activity worked best for you?
Answers:
a. Bilal from convertpdftoword:
Our best promotional tool is our service and it’s power packed features. Once any user or client has used our service here at convertpdftoword.net they have generously stayed with us , and recommended us to their colleagues and friends. We also hope that you will find our service satisfactory and refer to this when someone asks about your document managing software.
b. Cindy from PDF Converter:
We are usually spreading the word about our tools and services by reaching out to bloggers and Internet users who are looking for tools that meet their document management needs. We are mostly promoting our tools by getting Internet users to test them and recommend them if they find the tools useful. People usually gladly share the news about helpful tools and services that actually do what they claim and solve problems.
c. Carla from Cometdocs:
The best promotional for us has always been word of mouth. Our satisfied users very often refer us to their friends, colleagues and co-workers, who then start using us. We are a small company and don't really have a huge marketing and PR budget. We have to work on offering a great service and then rely on the recommendations of the people who use us regularly.
d. Reena from Investintech:
The best promotional activity that works for us is simply interacting with our user base. For one thing, developing products built on user feedback has satisfied users, who in turn become our advocates. Social media has been extremely effective as well because there are users who are looking for a converter, but don't know where to start. Reaching out on social media allows us to get in direct contact with them.
Moreover, we've developed relationships with a lot of authoritative niche bloggers who further expand on our reach with their own readers. Overall, interacting with users has been the best approach because it's the most natural and genuine way to promote what we do.
Q4. What is the reason for starting your service when there were already many others?
Answers:
a. Bilal from Convertpdftoword:
Our online service is among in the list of first site to convert PDF files to word since 2008. Since then we've grown and turned into a complete solution for converting PDF to word. Our experience in this field makes us more capable of handling the conversion task with better accuracy and precision. We also want our clients to enjoy the best service that they deserve. Compared to our service, other sites and software can not match the features. We want to make this conversion process available to all and make this service known. Many users try other services to convert their PDF to Word doc and become unsatisfied with the output. We want to change that and make them want to use this type of service again.
b. Cindy from PDF Converter:
PDFConverter Elite 3 has been around for a while and we started it because we noticed that there wasn't a software solution on the market that offers complete PDF management: from creating PDFs to converting them to more editable document formats, and editing them (adding bookmarks, merging and splitting, inserting and deleting pages, adding text and image watermarks, and so on). We recognized a need for such a solution on the market. You see, if you're a small or medium-sized business owner, chances are you have a pretty limited budget and you can neither afford purchasing two or three tools for various PDF management needs nor do you have time to train your employees how to use a bunch of tools. What you are looking for is one, robust solution that fits all your needs. That is the story behind our desktop PDF solution.
After a few years, we noticed that there were many people who were looking for simple online tools that allow them to create and extract their PDF content quickly without installing any software on their computers. Since we already had reliable and accurate PDF technology, we decided to extend it to users who prefer web-based applications and instantaneous conversion service without installing and maintaining desktop tools.
c. Carla From Cometdocs:
We have been doing this since 2009, and there actually weren't that many similar services at the time. The number of similar services did increase significantly over the next few years, which goes to show that online file conversion is a service that is very much in demand. We have a brand and experience that I believe separates us from the rest.
d. Reena From Investintech:
We started in 2000 when there weren't very many PDF software alternatives on the market yet. Our main flagship product, Able2Extract, started out as an idea for a platform that would enable professionals to work more efficiently with financial reports. At the time, there wasn't a product out there that gave users a hands-on approach to dictate how they wanted their converted data to appear in an Excel spreadsheet. Thus, it was almost natural for us to shift into data extraction and the PDF industry. We wanted to develop a solution where there was none and, as a result, we gave users a way to generate tailored PDF conversions exactly as needed.
