I guess I'm a bit confused but exactly why would someone want to convert a PDF, which is usually loaded with text, to a video?

It just sounds stupid to me but maybe I'm missing something.

Dear users,

due to major problem with ThunderSoft Flash Slideshow Factory 2.5.0 activation (especially on Windows x64) we have decided to replace it with Boxoft PDF To Video.

As for ThunderSoft Flash Slideshow Factory - we will bring it back as soon as all the troubles are handled.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
GOTD team

#3: "... a PDF to Video app is something I can’t imagine having much of any market value for consumers,..."

#4: "... Great tool for building and publishing Business, Educational or Informational Presentations, Backed-up with relevant information like, White Papers, Studies, Reserches and etc.... "

When I 1st saw this I thought: "Why in the world?" ... But FWIW, after thinking about it a bit I imagine it could have a niche market &/or following. According to the Boxoft PDF to Video site, the app creates video slideshows. PDF files can hold images. Video is for the most part really lousy at text. So if you have a bunch of images that you want to put into a slideshow, & they happen to be in the PDF format [rather than .jpg, .png, .bmp etc.], Boxoft PDF to Video saves you the step of separate conversions or screen shots to turn your PDFs into images.

Why would you have a bunch of images in the PDF format? Some scanners [stand-a-lone or all-in-one printers] can save scans as PDF files. A business might use PDF files for images because of both their portability & utility -- not every office PC/laptop is going to have an installed image viewer, while many home systems have had image formats hijacked by cataloging &/or editing software... it makes perfect sense for a real estate biz to have images of its properties as PDFs.

To 2 & 3. This is a useful program to transfer a presentation to a video file & then copy to a DVD so that the presentation can be played on any DVD player; as some people still don't have computers.

However, I must note that a previous Boxoft program installed a file that my anti-virus labels as malware.

I enjoy the various resources GAOTD makes available, many of which I wouldn't even have thought of needing/wanting which open new doors of exploration into productive and entertaining resources and which I often recommend to others after experiencing via GAOTD. But I'd have to honestly say a PDF to Video app is something I can't imagine having much of any market value for consumers, business, or even students worth producing a specifically focused product for. Perhaps they should just market it as a movie maker that happens to accept PDF files as a source as well.
