In my opinion, this is nothing more than a pump for their version of "cloud computing." They ask you if you wamt to convert their .pdf that you downloaded into MSword, yeah, let me try that, but only if I subscribe to their websight, upload the .pdf to them, they convert it, then I download. What a bunch of razzmatazz!

If I were interested, sell me the converter, and lemme do it down here. Forget that horse pucky!

Are you seeking help?

These forums are not for rants, they are for those who have problems they need assistance with.

They would be happy to sell it to you ...

so instead of ranting just purchase Acrobat X Pro - http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro.html

For the many who only need to convert a few pdf files the registering and up and downloading of the file makes them a lot happier than having to spend the $199 for an Acrobat upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro or the $449 for the full product.

If you aren't interested then you needn't do anything (including rant which is bad for the blood pressure )
