PDF Converter Pro produced poor results with a Verizon Wireless bill when I left OCR on, reproducing the Verizon company logo as вЂњvefl70nw?re/ess.вЂќ When I turned OCR off, the logo reproduced correctly, but this time, none of the text was editable. To its credit, the application didnвЂ™t crash or balk, as some other PDF utilities have with this particular test document and it handled the page sizes correctly. Despite the lack of OCR, I could edit the text in this document. When I turned OCR off, the application sprinted through the same document in just 50 seconds, and the results were much better, with variable-width text and good-looking, properly reproduced images. The resulting document contained mostly fixed-width (specifically, Courier) text, and many of the graphics were severely overcropped.

I used the application on a 58-page monochrome computer manual and with OCR turned on, the application required 4 minutes, 15 seconds to convert the manual into a Microsoft Word document thatвЂ™s about twice the amount of time other applications required. The Pro version includes an OCR function for creating editable text from scanned documents, though you canвЂ™t scan from within the application instead, you must scan the document, save it as a PDF file (because the application recognizes only PDF files), and then import the scanned PDF into PDF Converter Pro. If PDF Converter Pro handled conversion better than any of its rivals, it might be worth the cost but in my tests, its output was fairly undistinguished overall. Wondershare offers a $100 product, PDF Editor Pro for Mac, that it says has many of these missing features, and it is planning a Windows version of PDF Editor Pro as well.

Most of those products come in versions that cost less and have a reduced set of features, and yet PDF Converter Pro doesnвЂ™t do much of what those versions do either. In other words, it doesnвЂ™t do 75 percent of what Nuance PDF Converter Enterprise 7 ($149), Foxit Phantom PDF Business ($149), Nitro Pro 7 ($100), Soda PDF Pro + OCR ($100) and Adobe Acrobat X Pro ($449) can do. So you canвЂ™t edit text, add audio or video, or secure PDFs and you canвЂ™t create forms, add comments, redact text, or add a digital signature to one. Furthermore, the application exclusively performs conversions it doesnвЂ™t let you open or edit PDFs.
