@Bubby, #18, I see what you mean, ofcourse as soon a document is just a file and if you want to archive or distribute it, chopping it up in equisized portions is fine (treating it as just a file), but in your example you get portions only characterized by size, not by readability. I would be much better to split up the pdf-document in portions with a distinct number of pages and in that way get it mailed. We might differ in approach of course.
@ 14 Fubar, I downloaded one of those ‘free” titles (will try it out later) and even if the lengths are all the same (8.132 KB in their list), it came as a 7.330 KB file. I guess they don’t bother to look up the exact size when it’s free. I’ll find out later whether there is a catch…
What’s up with the votes? Any critical posts about this pdf promo has WAY too many negative votes.
Very positive comments. So I installed and will give it a good try.
Being even more interested in PDF converting software, I noticed, under “More Titles by Simpo Technologies”, their “Simpo PDF to Word” which was announced as coming with “Free activation” (in blue on this page). I immediately downloaded and installed it. First there was no sign of a free activation anywhere. Apparently someone complained and now (some time later) it disappeared from this page.
Anyway, I installed the “trial” which promptly told me it would only do 2 pages. I launched it on a fairly complicated PDF file that I previously converted decently with my old faithful (and freely obtained) ABBYY PDF Transformer 1.0. It completely trashed the layout of the first page, converted it into 2 Word pages and that was it…
Even if I didn’t get much to admire (not even 2 pdf pages!) I can only but strongly advise not to spend a dime on this one…
how does one ‘open as an administrator’?
Hi.,
Installed, registered fine in XP.Pro SP3. Nice prog, running well.Thanks. After that I have got the reg.key for NitroPDF Prof.5 as promo. So I have all I need for PDF free. Thx.

not going to bother to rate it, looks like a hit to me. LOL!
thanks GAOTD!
@17 – Documents can be files too – and often need to be archived – or distributed.
If you had a 100MB PDF file – that was difficult to email – perhaps what Ashraf was referring to – being able to split the 100MB PDF into 10x 10MB PDFs – that could each be opened, read, stored, and distributed (emailed?) as separate documents.
Splitting by size is something used for archiving or distributing general files, not for documents.
@Ashraf, #3, after reading your full review I still wonder what you mean with: “The Bad: * Lacks the ability to split by size.“.
IMHO that would be an unworkable option, nobody would like a document being split-up in the middle of a page (or worse “a table”) at some line without any control just because the size threshold was reached. There is really no use for that and this cannot be a “BAD”.
Perhapse you could explain this (it’s not in your full review either) and prove me wrong. Please do, of course I could be mistaken too.
