Convert PDFs for free
The Free PDF Converter Software lets you convert PDFs to other formats. It features manual and automatic conversion, as well as a PDF conversion report. You can also recover information from encrypted PDFs.
You can download the software for older Windows operating systems, like Windows 98, Vista, Windows 2000, or for Windows 7 up to Windows 10. Other alternatives to consider are Total PDF Converter, PDF Converter, and Icecream PDF Converter.
The software lets you convert PDF files to text, spreadsheet or image formats, or convert files in batches, even protected files. You can choose even, odd or custom pages to convert or delete, or move the original files after conversion.
Manual or automatic conversion
If you want to use the automatic option, set up single or multiple watch folders. The converter will run in the background and process all PDF files placed in these folders, using the same features as manual conversion.
Conversion reports
The software creates a detailed report of all conversion processes and lets you export the data. Within the report, you can filter information by manual, automatic, or all types of conversions. You can also search for successful or failed conversion or search using a specified date range.
User interface
The software offers a simple user interface. At the top, you select the type of file you want to convert to, from Word, RTF, XML, TXT, TIFF, JPEG or PNG. Alternatively, you can select the Auto Job for automatic conversion.
Underneath is another toolbar to let you search by process type or conversion status. If you want to export a report, choose the export file type from the dropdown list or clear the data.
It displays details about the converted files, like:
- Input File
- Input and Output Directory
- Process Time
- Type, Status, Format, and Page Type
Auto Jobs provides an orange toolbar to add, edit, or delete a job. You can choose to restart a job, run it on startup, activate or delete them, or view the log. It lists details under Job Name, Watching Directory, Destination Directory and Status.
