According to Adobe, there are more than 250 million PDF documents on the web today. PDF is really a good thing for reading and sharing. But when it comes to editing, many users will get into trouble. One of the best solution for editing PDF is converting to Microsoft Word format, which is widely used by the whole world.

Okay, here comes another question, How to choose the most proper converters for yourself? You need to consider the following factors for choosing the right converter. The one which can meet your requirements the best is the one designed for you.

1. Budget:
Price differ so much by brands. The most professional PDF tool is AdobeAcrobat 9 Pro which cost $449. Some PDF tools integrating full functions, such as NitroPDF pro and Nuance PDF converter 6, which cost about $99. While some other brands which focused on formats conversion cost much less, like Anybizsoft PDF to Word converter 2.0 cost only $19.95. And there are some freeware available.

2. Main Purpose:
If you just need to convert a single PDF file to Word, and it’s not important, you can use online converter, such as Zamzar or PDFonline etc.

If you often have to deal with PDF files and do some complicated editing, a professional PDF tools like Adobe Acrobat, NitroPDF is suitable for you.

For individual users who just want to spend less money but get better conversion quality for converting PDF to Word, Anybizsoft PDF to Word converter will be a good choice.

3. Easy-to-use:
Time is a valuable thing, I bet that you don’t want a software which is difficult to use. So User-Friendliness is important. I always hope I can finish my job with just a few clicks.

4. Stability and Reliability:
Online PDF to Word converter is great, but the stability and reliability are not as good as desktop converters. Usually they require your E-mail address and it may take you a long time for receiving the converted Word files. So I prefer desktop PDF to word converter.

5. Advanced Functions:
Not many PDF to Word converters support encrypted and password-protected PDF files. As far as I know, Anybizsoft PDF to
Word converter 2.0 supports this well.

Users put emphasis on flexibility. If the PDF to Word converter support partial and batch conversion, that must be convenience.

6. Output Quality:
The conversion quality is the core consideration for users. No one want a converted Word file filling with weird text boxes, overlapped text. A good PDF to Word convert should preserve the original layout of text, columns, tables, graphics and even hyperlinks of PDF files to Word documents accurately.

Now, you won’t be afraid if your boss asks you to retype a large PDF file. Or you want to quote a paragraph from an E-book or PDF document, you don’t have to retype it again. If the format of your novel doesn’t satisfy the publisher, you don’t need to hire someone to retype it again. Then you can spare your fingers. Let converter help you with the conversion jobs.

There are many factors that can affect the size of a PDF file. If you know these factors it would be possible for you to get the smallest possible file size of the PDF document that you create. The factors that affect the size of PDF files are the way the fonts are embedded, the images resolution and image type, and the version of the PDF and level of compression.

To make your PDF file smaller, Adobe suggests that you use “Save as” instead of “Save” every time you make a change in the PDF document you are creating. When you use the “Save” changes you make are appended to your file and this of course adds to the size. When you use the “Save as” you will overwrite the entire PDF and you are saving just the latest form of your document after the change.

Another thing that could add to the size of the PDF file is the named destination, every ten or so named destinations could add at least a kilobyte to the PDF size. So if you think that named destinations is not that necessary in your PDF document do not include them.

You can also use Adobe Acrobat’s PDF optimizer to see which elements in your PDF document could take up the most space. To use the PDF Optimizer, click “Advanced” in the menu bar and select PDF Optimizer and then click on Audit Space Usage.

The elements in your PDF document that obviously add a lot to the total size of the final PDF are the images. as much as possible use vector-based graphics. Vector-based graphics are better than GIF in many aspects : they scale perfectly, look better, and take up lesser space. Avoid inseting bitmap graphics but if it could not be avoided, prepare it for maximum compression and minimum dimensions.

If you are creating PDF for the web and not for printing use RGB which has one less data channel than CMYK. As much as possible do not embed your fonts, fonts take up a lot of space.

Lastly, it is good to use newer versions of Acrobat because they have a more advanced compression system that can result in smaller PDF file size.
