VLC media player handles tons of formats, from MPEG to FLV and RMBV files. Version 2 has seen some important additions too such as support for 10 bit codes plus multi-threaded decoding for H.264, MPEG-4/Xvid and WebM.

Any software that attempts to present an alternative to Adobe's sluggish PDF software is fine by me and novaPDF does an impressive job at rivalling the industry standard package.

novaPDF is a PDF creator that allows you to easily create high-quality searchable PDF files. The first thing you'll notice is that it's very easy to use because once installed, all you have to do is select "Print" from the file menu of virtually any application you're using. The reason being is that novaPDF acts like a virtual printer. You can create just about any type of PDF file including bookmarks, PDF links, public and private documents as well as PDF watermarks and perform PDF compression. Although it's very straightforward with a fully comprehensive tutorial and manual, there's even free support which is unusual in an unregistered piece of software (although registered users are dealt with first). You have pretty much full control over what you add to the documents including the ability to embed fonts and insert images of different resolutions. If your images or text are unusually large - don't worry, you can compress the entire document afterwards no matter what it contains.

At just a fraction of the cost of Adobe's software, novaPDF is a superb answer to your PDF needs and it also enables you to do your bit for the environment by using less paper.

PDF2Word isn't a looker and doesn't have much in the way of support documentation - it's all online.
Luckily, it's an easy program to use. You select File > Open and add the file or files you want to convert - the program can also handle batch operations.

The PDF2Word preferences window automatically pops up, allowing you to get rid of images and select certain pages for inclusion. Admittedly, the options under Reconstruction Mode are a bit of a mystery.

Results from PDF2Word are variable, as are most PDF to Word converters. If your PDF is simple, with very little formatting, you might get lucky. If it is a little more complicated, be prepared for the fact that your Word document might be completely messed up. You should also remember that the text in converted documents is always in boxes. Your final text won't resemble a standard Word document, but this is always the case with programs like PDF2Word.

PDF2Word is a very basic program, but is worth a try, especially on simple PDFs.
