Already given away several times in the past, this GAOTD does its dirty job pretty well.

Its main weak point is definitely the quality of the DOC format output files, which is not good enough (see Ashraf's samples for more details)!!

So overall is a good but not great PDF converter (good for converting PDF to IMAGES, not so good to convert PDF to TEXT) and honestly I would never pay 30$ for a program like this!!

The developer of this GAOTD claims the ability of his program to convert encrypted PDFs (owner and user), but users must enter the right password during coversion, making the batch processing pretty much useless if you have many password protected PDf files to be converted.

But what if you forgot the (owner and/or user) password?

Don't worry and be happy....Gio(vanni) Diabolik has a (FREE) solution even for such a case!!

Pros
*Straightforward and easy to use
*Converts PDFs to .DOC, .RTF, .TXT, .JPG, .BMP, .GIF, .PNG, .TIF, .HTML, and .SWF formats
*Users are allowed to convert whole PDFs or a select range of pages
*Can convert encrypted PDFs (owner and user)
*Supports batch processing
*Doesn’t require users to have Microsoft Office/Word installed to do PDF to DOC conversions

Cons
*Poor conversion/output quality for all non-image and SWF outputs
*PDF to Word/RTF uses text boxes for text
*Attempts to install directly into C:/ by default as opposed to C:/Program Files and wants to output files to C:/output by default instead of a more proper location such as My Documents

Installed fine on Win XPSP3

Test converted two files to HTML:

1. PDF (243kb) of a scanned document that included handwritten notes, this resulted in a HTML file containing 25Mb of bmp files.

2. PDF (331kb) which contained existing hypertext links, this outputted to a 22kb jpg file that obviously did not contain clickable hyperlinks.

I can't say I'm very impressed with PDFZilla based on just these two tests, and I hope others have better luck with using it.
Uninstalling.

Waste of time: how the developer thinks it can get away with such brazen misinformation as appears in relation to this software is beyond me. It "quickly and accurately converts PDF files into editable MS Word documents. . ." Not on this planet it doesn't -- nor this life-time, either.

Unimpressive from the start -- no developer serious about the product they're selling is so downright lazy / incompetent as to just dump the darn thing on the user's C Drive, as is the case here -- PDFZilla has in my test this morning not even remembered that the default output folder (yup, C: yet again) has been changed by me.

Throwing a standard pdf brochure at the software resulted in a conversion where image retrieval was accurate but text boxes were everywhere, with various text box collisions and unintelligible over-laying. The original pdf varied from portrait A4 front and back cover to double page spread but PDFZilla couldn't handle the set-up here and no amount of trying to fix document set-up margins and print boundaries in Word achieved anything: hard copy output simply didn't occur.

Nowadays there are many apps capable of editing a pdf file without having to go to the hassle of converting first. All PDFZilla managed to achieve was a reminder not to use PDFZilla.

Uninstalled.

i tried to convert a pdf to doc and all I got was a garbled up document with no layout preservation, numerous lines of text written one over another. as soon as you have just a wee bit complicated layout, different sizes of text etc., this program does not stand a chance. uninstall.
