EaseUS PDF Converter. A suite of PDF tools with excellent OCR capabilities.

EaseUS PDF Converter is a handy Windows application designed to simplify working with PDFs. If you are trying to yank text out of a scanned doc or batch convert files for editing, this tool can do it, but you may need to pony up to get access to the additional features. See editor's note.

Why You Might Want It

PDFs are great until you need to do something with them. Well, that is kind of the point of them sometimes, is to make it hard to do things with them once created. EaseUS PDF Converter makes this easier for you. Got a report in PDF you want to tweak in PowerPoint? Or a form you need to edit in Word? It handles everything from converting scanned PDFs into editable Word or Excel files (thanks to built-in OCR) to processing a pile of documents at once without compromising the formatting.

What It Can Do

OCR That Works: Excellent OCR capabilities that convert image-based PDFs into real, editable text with no retyping required. Supports multiple languages, too.

Batch Mode: Convert multiple files in one go.

Format Juggler: Goes both ways—PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, and back again.

Layout Preservation: Keeps your fonts, columns, and images where they belong.

Geek Verdict

EaseUS PDF Converter nails the basics and then some, especially if you're dealing with scanned PDFs or large batches. The OCR is reliable, and the interface is clean enough that you won't need a manual. Just know the free version is more of a teaser than a toolkit, but there is more than enough there to let you make an intelligent decision if you like the software interface, style, and if the tools fit your needs.
