1.0 out of 5 stars ERROR: 1325.components is not a valid short file name.
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2008
Perhaps my latest email to their support folks will suffice:

I have spent many many hours trying to fix this. Today I spent abt 1 hr on phone with rep. Then followed his instructions as far as I could get:
1. Use ftp link to get version 4.2
2. Run file with Repair options
3. Run program 4.2 version with Remove option
4. Run remover exe tool.
Well that's as far as I got. Wasted 2 more hours. Could not run removal tool, thus could not reinstall 4.2. I CONTINUE TO GET ERROR MSG "1325.COMPONENTS IS NOT A VALID SHORT FILE NAME".
I am very tired of trying to fix this. I paid for a product and it should: 1. function, which it does not, and 2. not interfere with my use of other programs.
I REPEAT THAT I WOULD LIKE AT LEAST A FULL REFUND. ORIGINAL INVOICE ATTACHED.

I first contacted them in July. It's September asnd I still have the same problem. I had already repeated these steps twice before today, and it reminded me of a saying: "The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing in the same way and expect a different result."
I freakin hate this software.

As they would say on American Bandstand, I would give this title a 65 - the lyrics are ok but its easy to dance to. I do A LOT of pdf crap (and i hate pdf) both converting too and from. For some conversions (NOT COMPLEX GRAPHICS) it works well, for others it is so-so.
It does do a BETTER job, converting from pdf - at least on the long, complex-formated text documents - which are my primary beast of burden, than Adobe PRO 6.0. Howver Scansoft has some quirk's that potential buyers need to be aware of -
1. It messes up haeaders and footers - it captures them just fine but puts them in funky places as a table and of couse screws up the page numbering,,,
2. On occasion (and this is the frustrating part) it converts text into graphics,,,
3. It handles check boxes and the other vbs features of WORD poorly, often creating them as graphics
4. It routeinely messes up autonumbering, again often picking up a number and making it a graphic
However, having said all that - it is quicker/faster/better than Adobe Pro 6.0. for Word conversions. Sometimes its a dozen hand fixes per page, other times one or two, but i will gladly trade that for rekeying or scanning.
For the record, I have an old version of Omni-Pro and DID NOT try to use its features as suggested.
I am glad I own it but I dont think I am taking it to the prom.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stumbles on Complex Documents
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2004
I downloaded this software to convert a two-page PDF document into an editable Word 2000 document. Much of the text converted well but the more complex areas of my PDF file, those that were contained inside of tables, were poorly done. Portions of it were rendered as images(!), while other parts came through properly as text inside of tables. However, much of that text was inside of frames, or even nested frames. Frames are Word objects that are tricky at best, and frustratingly hard to deal with at worst. Removing a frame often removes its contained text as well. Either way, editing the converted document so as to make it look like the original was very difficult. In the case of the portions that converted to images, it was impossible.
The product installs/uninstalls easily and seems to run well. If you're converting simple PDF files, this product may do the job but for complex documents, especially ones containing tables, I would not recommend it.

I found this uncomplicated, easy to install, and extremely useful for those pesky .pdf files I need to edit. Since many of the files I receive are .pdf, I certainly am getting my money's worth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only converts small % of pdf files
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2003
This is the first time I've reviewed a product online, but this one upset me enought to complain. They say in the Quick Reference "Most pdf files contain a text layer with standard encoding"... not in my experience! It does a beautiful job of converting what it calls these "normal" pdf files, but nowhere on the box or in the ads does it say that these are files only created with a text layer from Office products like Word or Excel. Scanned pdfs (like the vast majority I work with) coming from scanners via Acrobat, for example, do not have a text layer - they are purely images, and PDF Converter cannot touch these. You find this out when you install it, try and fail to convert file after file, and then go to the help files - it's not even in the 2-page Quick Reference. I was able to convert 2/10 pdfs I needed to work with. I'm returning it (J&R accepts 30-day returns) A deceptively advertised product. It's easier for me to print the pdf out and process it with AAbby reader.

2.0 out of 5 stars PDF Converter with Potential
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2004
Having used this product on large (more than 500 pages) and complex documents, my conclusion is that this could be a very good product. Unfortunately, the software has some logic flaws that cause it to fail repeatedly on specfic text formatting. For example, consider the following listing:
a. Data Element
b. Data Element Tag
c. Element Number
d. Group Number
The application always fails on this and similar listings by randomly deleting the new paragraph marker and setting the right margin incorrectly. Too bad that Scansoft support, which could alert developers to this type of problem, is the worst I have ever encountered. Perhaps someone from Scansoft will read this review and fix this problem and other problems encountered by customers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product to help save time
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2004
I have been using this product for a few weeks and it works great for me. When you consider what it does, the results are pretty amazing - it reconstructs a document with formatting from a picture! It does not work perfectly on every single document, but usually any clean up is minimal. I am very happy with it. For $50 it has saved me hundreds by not having to retype stuff from PDFs. I noticed someone made a comment about it not working on encrypted files - it says that one the box and on the web site. The stupidity of people never fails to amaze me!
