Stuart Denton (ID: 00000051aea960fc) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/04/2023 Pros: It did an excellent job of conversions when it worked: I generally used it for PDF to Word conversions, although it offered a wide range of conversions. Cons: My password no longer works, and when I try to reset it, I receive the message "System too busy." Please try once more." This has been happening for months. When I try to use the "Free trial" feature, the same thing happens. My attempts to reach them via their website have gone unanswered. Overall, everything looks to have ceased working, and the company has not responded to my contact attempts. Paid from premium ltd, I feel cheated.
