Free After Rebate Software: Nuance PDF Converter 8.0 Free after $40 Rebate, Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus (3-User) Free after $35 Rebate + Free Shipping (expired)

looks good

good deal

Webroot is OOS

Softwares like this are misleading....They promise conversion of PDF files into editable files.

If the PDF is formatted as a text file...great. But if you have an ancient paper form at the office, want to scan it and edit it as a word document you are out of luck.

PDFs created from most scanners are scanned as an image, not a text file. And these editors are text editors, not OCR recognizers. Of course, the OCR would be in place on a good scanner...but it is FAR from a perfect science.

Anyways, there are some empty promises made.

Free is Good.1. Fillable REBATE forms attached for convenience.
2. Webroot form is good for purch @ newegg to 10/27. It likely will be restocked on sale.
3. As Atarilynx pointed out the PDF converter works well with existing PDF files. It's not OCR software.

"PDF Converter Professional 8 lets you accurately convert PDF files to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Corel WordPerfect documents with columns, tables and graphics intact. Word Processing Capabilities; Gaaiho Collaboration to exchange ideas and interact in real time; The FormTyper tool converts forms into fillable PDF forms; integrated Dragon Notes Speech Recognition; Combine files and remove or replace pages with drag-and-drop ease. Document Security."

I bought this back in early September. Am I eligible for this rebate again? The rebate # on the mail-in form for each differ... so yes? No?

Thanks!

Yes, this Nuance sw is good at that. "Free" is affordable imo!
If you want to turn a printed paper into editable text, there are many free online sites like this one that let you upload a file and download text. LINK [free-ocr.com]ABBYY Finereader Online [abbyyonline.com] is another very good one.
Maybe those will do what you're looking for?

Yes. Different offer.

that rebate is bs. I buy one last time and the rebate never came. called their rebate center,all they told me was the gift card was sent and told me to call visa. Called visa and they told me they will send another one, but that one never came either.

Alright!!

I'm pretty sure this is for non-Pro version. I've had good luck with the PDF Converter Pro versions, and would buy that in a heartbeat, I'll skip this version, although might be a good way to get a discount on the Pro version.

Can I edit PDF documents such as to fill in the name, address, etc. in a rebate form?
