Installed demo from main website. Firstly, the offer here states " You can also transfer the PDF format to EPUB for viewing on your mobile devices " I can see nothing about Epub. The conversion buttons available are the same as in the video/screenshots - i.e. no Epub button.

I carried on and tested OCR. If I can get clean text, I can make my own Epub. Immediately on pressing "convert" I was told I was "Not a VIP" and could only convert 5 pages. That's ok, as I was only trialling the program.It might be helpful thought, to add somewhere that the trial only permits OCR of 5 pages. I chose a larger file on purpose, so the limit meant I'd wasted time looking for a real PDF I wanted converted, when I could have just quickly dummied up a 4-5 page PDF.

The results of the OCR were mixed. The text itself was generally converted well. Some bullet-point symbols were converted to capital "Z" and a couple of "o" became" Ö" . That's ok, but tables however were handled poorly - the text from each cell was put onto a single line, giving a stream of individual cell data down the page. So, a lot of work would need to be done if you wanted to add that text into another document. For small sections of (non-tabular) text the program could be useful.

I'm disappointed about the Epub conversion, but I suspect even if it were available it would, like most other "Epub convertors", simply use Calibre conversion and produce a lot of messy code which, although it is readable on a mobile device, is difficult to clean up if you need to add to the code (e.g . to improve accessibility).

for example: If i want to convert PDF file to a WORD file

Question 1:
Does the program need a permanent internet connection for conversion?

Question 2:
Is the conversion done locally on the computer?

Question 3:
Will my PDF document be uploaded to an internet server,
converted on the server and then
the resulting WORD document will be downloaded to the PC?

AceThinker, I don't think you're being forthcoming.
If internet is not connected, you get an error when trying to convert, which says that you have to connect in order to convert to Word.
The program just rolls and takes forever; doesn't convert unless connected to internet.

Anyone who wants to check this can do it for themselves: just try converting when connected to internet and try without connecting. Then you will know.

Another question to answer is why the program stays in memory when you quit the program?

Can't register. The guide is too complicated to follow.
Why don't you make it a bit simple?
Uninstalled.
But thanks, anyway.

The same situation like many others ...

I select PDF file, new box with scrolling bar appears ... nothing else for several hours. Button "Cancel" only. Doesn't work at all.
