Convert a PDF to Word free and online

http://www.pdftoword.com

At work I often get asked if I can convert a PDF documents into word documents.  This is one of those areas that if you Google it, you get lots of bloatware claiming to do this that are not quite free and after you have installed them you end up with Explorer Toolbars for other pointless things installed on your system.

PDFtoWord.com is different to any of that, because it is a fully online service that requires not software to be installed.  You simply upload your file and enter your email address and click convert.  The converted document is then emailed to you a few minutes later.  I'd also use a junk address like Hotmail and not you main address, just incase they decide to SPAM you.

In practice the results are very good, converting the fonts and pictures, placing them exactly where they appear int he resulting Word document.
