Lots of people have at least one problem in common and it involves .PDF files. Their work involves lots of text and manipulating a .PDF would make their lives easier. Introducing Solid Documents-developed Solid Converter PDF. A really handy application that converts .PDF files in formats MS Word, Excel, Power Point, HTML or just plain, simple text. And that's not all it does.

Adding this to your computer won't be as fast as other downloadable software. The installation package is approx. 25 Mb large, so mind your Internet connection. The time you spend downloading can be compensated by the almost instant installation process. If you opt for a typical installation, meaning that the program will be placed using a default path, all you need to do is click a check box to agree to some conditions and click the install button. That's all there is to it. If you're an advanced user, you'll have to go an extra step, setting your own installation path.

The program's interface is rich in menus and colored buttons. You have a lot of stuff to click on here. But if you're familiar with software similar to the MS Office suite, you'll have no trouble finding your way around Solid Converter PDF. Most of the options found in the top menus can be accessed directly on the main window which is a lot easier. This is the basic thing you need to know: converting a .PDF file involves just a few clicks. The toolbar features most of the options you'll need. First, open a .PDF file. Depending on what format you're after, you need to click a certain button on the toolbar. They're right under your nose. Their icons even look like the executables from MS Word, Excel, and so on. Clicking any of them will open up a window where you can choose if you want to convert even or odd pages, a certain range of pages or you can be greedy and convert the whole document. Click the OK button, wait for a progress bar to fill and you're all done. By default, the program will save the result in the same folder as the target one.

Additional functions can be found on the right side area of the main window, all found on their own tabs. The "scan to word" is the first one, probably because, statistically, people prefer to convert .PDF files to word. The second is a search function, which you'll never guess what it does. The third tab contains a gallery of watermarks which you can click and drag over an opened .PDF document. Besides applying them, you can either edit them or create a whole new one. The final tab contains a function called "create or combine PDF". It does exactly what it sounds like. Here you can add single or multiple text or .PDF files and throw their contents in one single .PDF.

The Interface may look a bit overloaded but that's just a first reaction if you have never accessed this software before. Everything seems to fit perfectly. Besides the basic tools you'll need on the top toolbar, you will find buttons for zooming and different viewing types on the window's left margin. The before mentioned tabs for different functions are found on the right edge of the window, each containing easy to get to options.

Pros

You can use the program to manipulate .PDF files any way you want. With the number of options you have at your disposal, you won't need anything else.

Cons

When resizing, the main window's content will have trouble adapting. You won't be able to see some buttons if you make it smaller. There are no boundaries when it comes to .PDF files. Solid Converter PDF lets you convert or edit them however you want with minimum effort.
