PDF converters change files from portable document format (PDF) to other formats, and vice versa. Common file formats include word processor documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and HTML files. They are commonly used to optimize documents for web publishing, convert scanned documents, and extract values and images from integrated PDFs. Most programs also have a PDF viewer for previewing converted files.
Types Of PDF Converters
Kinds of PDF Converters include the following:
Standard PDF converters
Standard PDF converters only convert files, but do not allow them to be edited.
They usually offer cross-conversion between formats, such as spreadsheet to HTML and text to presentations.
PDF converter/creators
PDF converter/creators allow users to create and edit PDF files from native PDF or other formats.
Most programs work scanned files, native PDF, and converted files.
Choosing PDF Converters (Buying Tips)
Image support: Choose a PDF converter that supports most image formats, including web-friendly ones like jpeg, gif, and png. Look for one with text alignment options if you want to combine text and graphics in a single page. File import: Choose a PDF converter that imports files from various sources. Most programs will import from the hard disk, but for large projects, look for a program that also recognizes removable media such as CDs and flash drives.
