PDFZilla Quality File Conversion Tool Free (Expired)
Sorry, this offer has now expired.
PDFZilla 1.2 free Jan 3 2010 and July 3 2009 ONLY on Give Away Of The Day (GOTD)
Last time PDFZilla was offered by GOTD, the Hot Find won the approval of Gizmo's Freeware editor JoJoYee, who had this to say:
"PDF to Doc conversion is quite good. Certain converted formats and layouts are better than the free software "Some PDF to Word Converter" mentioned in the Best Free PDF Tools."
The latest version of PDFZilla is free again today as a time limited offer from GOTD.
From the developer's description:
PDFZilla is a desktop application that quickly and accurately convert PDF files into editable MS Word Documents, Rich Text Documents, Plain Text Files, Images, HTML Files, and Shockwave Flash SWF Files.
Features:
- Convert PDF to Word – Convert PDF to Word with all text and Graphical data.
- Convert PDF to RTF – Convert PDF to Rich Text Files. You can edit all text and graphic by Windows Wordpad.
- Convert PDF to TXT – Convert PDF to plain text files. You can edit text by Notepad.
- Convert PDF to Images – Convert PDF to BMP, JPG, GIF or TIF files.
- Convert PDF to HTML – Convert PDF to HTML files and automatically generate the Index file.

- Easy to use software – Add a PDF File -> Select the Output File Format -> Click on Start Converting button, then just have a cup of coffee.

PDFZilla didn't work *at all* with *my* installation of Office 2010 and Win7. It installed ok and it ran, but it sent Word 2010 into spasms and the output -- when it finally came -- was pretty horrible.
Clearly, PDFZilla hasn't caught up with Office 2010 (nor have I, actually). The tentative info about it working with Win7 was only based on user comments on the GAOTD page. Sorry, anyway.

Apparently, this program now also works on Windows 7.
You're a lifesaver - I've been praying for a program that would do this. Thank you so very, very much.

Glad you find it useful... I know that situation when, for one reason or another, you haven't got access to a .doc copy of a pdf, and you need to edit it.
You'll find a bunch of useful freeware pdf tools reviewed here:

Including tools to convert pdf to other formats like Word:

I've updated (ie re-published) the article to take in today's rerun (January 3, 2010 only) of this time-limited offer from GAOTD - PDFZilla is good software.

Some GOTD users (see for example Comment #53) are reporting that this updated version (1.2) of PDFZilla performs notably better than the original version.
I haven't done a comparison, but the older version of PDFZilla already seemed to be pretty good in itself.
According to Comment #21, if you download the installer from pdfzilla.com and use the registration code provided in the Readme from GOTD you may find you're subsequently able to reinstall the program, even though it's technically a time-limited offer.
Anyway, I'd really recommend taking advantage of today's GAOTD offer
