Like everyone else, I was skeptical about the Cometdocs PDF Converter Ultimate app promise of free and hassle-free file conversion. The net is cluttered with online file converters that fall short of expectations because files are only partially converted, contain gibberish, reformatted or have a ubiquitous watermark. It is frustrating when Office documents can be converted to pdf with ease but needs Adobe’s expensive Acrobat software to edit extensively. If can be frustrating if you have a Publisher document to edit but no Microsoft Office to open it, and worse if you need to view a DWG document and no AutoCAD software to open it with.
What to do when you want a simplified desk free of numerous readers and unnecessary productivity apps that slow you down? With Com
etdocs, there’s no need to re-create documents, especially when formatting matters. Conversion is now a snap, offline or online. Cloud-friendly, free, and safe. What’s not to like especially when you can crossover from Microsoft, iOs, and Android programs? Cometdocs is a robust program that will save you time and dollars as it converts almost any pdf file less than 30 Mb to:
- Word
- Excel
- Powerpoint
- Text
- Powerpoint
- DWG (AutoCAD)
- HTML
- BMP
- JPG
- PNG
- TIF
- ODP
- ODS and
- ODT/Open Office.
I tried it out for a spin and converted a complicated pdf full of figures, tables, and pictures. Using the web, I converted it and was given a download link within a few seconds. I downloaded the file in Powerpoint pptx format and was able to retrieve a complete, editable document free of annoying watermarks! Unlike the converted docs processed by other online software, there were very few glitches (this was about 80 pages long) which were so minor that it only needed some tweaking with spacing. Photos were about 90% the resolution of the original. The clarity of the edges was almost the same and the color fidelity was good. If you are looking at creating a Powerpoint presentation from a lengthy and complicated presentation on the fly, then Cometdocs is definitely worth trying out. Thumbs up to HTML and image conversions which were flawless!
