I've done this, but I still get the "Register Now" nag. Pressing clears the nag, but it's awfully irritating. Is there a way of disabling it?

OK managed to get a register code; use it once and hey presto away you go. BUT the code is written o a local gsview.ini which also incorporates named drive letters. Move your USB stick to another host machine where it will very likely be named differently and gsview.ini is suddenly broken -- you have to supply the reg code again. Very VERY annoying; not true portable freeware, at all ...

Setup is a bit more tricky then running a self-extracting executable, and dumping Ghostscript in the same folder. Here's what I had to do: |

I get the best pdf scan output using IrfanView: smallest pdf file size and highest font quality (no OCR, obviously).

Downloaded this to try exporting the pages of a PDF file to image files. It didn't work at all, just returned an unhelpful "failure" message.

The "About PtoBMP" window says it will extract BMP/JPG from PDF files 'created by BtoPDF' (ONLY!!!); this should be clearly described in Synopsys to avoid frustracting loss of time attempting extraction of JPG from PDF files not created with this utility.

Disappointing, this app does not extract jpg images from pdf files. |
Free PDF Editor allows you to insert text and images into text and image boxes, as well as rectangles and ellipses. Within a text box, you can change font, alignment, size, and color. Useful for creating quick-and-dirty PDFs without having to use OpenOffice or having access to a print-to-PDF program.
NOTE: This program merely exports to PDFs and cannot open them.

I guess this is a PDF *creator* and not editor... useful to create a PDF from scratch but can not edit existing ones...

It shouldn't be included in as a PDF editor.

As in 2010 year comments, this is not a real editor: it just can't open any pdf file. |
Simpo PDF to Text processes PDF to text files individually or in batch. The program can export to DOS/Windows, UNIX, or Mac-compatible text.
Note: Official website has gone crippleware, limiting conversion to two pages at maximum. See forum post for possible workaround if archive.org link doesn't work.

I much prefer PDFtk Builder v. 2.35 as a GUI for PDFtk. It's about half the size of GUI for PDFtk and I find it more functional (for example for reordering pages in a pdf).

Very interesting application when you take time to invest in it. Much more than Rainlendar although less fancy interface. Has also the import tools and is fully Unicode. Must be used by a large number of users, as it appears in 7 languages already. New search function quite usefull. Imports are possible from Excel. Extra features, such as the Money application, can be used to replace money or quicken in simple households. The music and film functions are quite handy. I'm positively surprised : it's much better than it seems at first hand.

Apparently not free: "We advise you that the downloaded file gives you the right to try the program for 30 days. If you want to use the program longer than the 30 days, you need to buy the license key with us. The downloaded program is fully functional, and contains all 8 languages" |
