I, without a doubt, made good use of the list you’ve provided here Larry! I’ve been working with pdf files for quite a while now, since it wouldn’t be possible sharing them on document sharing sites like scribd and googledocs if it weren’t on that specific file format.

Thanks a lot, again. Looking forward for more of these!

Larry,

Thanks for mentioning PDF online. It probably won’t be available too long but it is a very professional application which does a lot. I especially enjoy how you can convert html or a webpage. Most do so with lots of conversion errors, but this is reliable and also, most importantly, hyperlinks the urls. This is crucial to create a web 2.0 sharable document.

I’ll also add – think about scribd, doxtop, authorstream, docstock as really powerful conversion tools. Most think of them as storage / sharing sites for pdf or ppt or word. However, once you upload there – you can download in differing formats, usually (not always) with great results. A creative use of these services!

Thanks for all your recommendations, on this topic and others. I have also landed here from Twitter.

I’ve been using PDF Creator for a few years, and I’m quite pleased. It does require downloading, but it’s free and does not render documents stamped with the name of the programme. It gets installed like a printer, and is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/.

As regards converting PDF to Word (as well as video files with different extensions and Word 2007 to previous versions), Zamzar has worked well for me (and no downloading is required) but when pdf files are protected, it does not “open” them.

My 2 cents.

Coverting pdf’s to text is very useful. I didn’t realize there were so many services out there. I’m going to try a few out. I followed your link from over on Twitter. I see your comments from time to time. Thanks for the useful article, Larry What are you teaching this year? I’m teaching CBET in Compton, CA. Small class with really nice ESL students.
