Free File Converter

I had problems with zamzar today and yesterday, so came to this site.
Tried a few other suggested converters - all required JAVA!
this one doesn't! GOOD

Free File Converter can recognize text in pdf-, tif-, gif- or jpg-documents and convert to txt-files
Free File Converter is a very flexible file conversion service including text-OCR-recognition with conversion pdf to doc, pdf or tif or gif or jpg to txt. I have tested the OCR-function with gif-,tif- and jpg-files with optical text-information and proofed, that it can recognize characters or words from an image, as an OCR (optical character recognition) normally does.

*Free File Converter is my favorite free OCR-tool for generating high-quality formatted doc-files from .pdf

Free File Converter and OCR-Terminal have a much better OCR-Result than OCR Convert and both are able to produce a word-document formatted with 2 or 3 rows and correct positioning of space for pictures in a multi-row document.
The only disadvantage of OCR-Terminal is the compulsory registration and limitation of max. 20 pages / month in the free version, whereas OCR-Convert and Free File Converter have no page-limitation and no compulsory registration. OCR-Convert is able to convert 5 files in one procedure, but cannot produce formatted doc-files with more than one row, only txt-files with low quality OCR-result. The only limit of using Free File Converter for converting pdf to word is a max. file size of 300MB. But this is large enough in most cases.
