If you have the expensive Microsoft Office installed in your machine, or are clever enough know the right tricks to install it without spending big bucks (hint, hint...LOL!!), this GAOTD is a KEEPER, especially for those out there (writers, teachers, webmarketers etc...) who are eager to publish some crucial books or courses for their readers/students/subscibers on their own websites.
Other than that I can't see any other use.
So, as Microsoft Powerpoint user, I give it a THUMBS UP, since it's able to preserve exactly the original text contents, layouts, tables, charts and formatting of the original PDF files, which is exactly what a PDF converter should always do. And above all it gives users the ability to convert their PDF files to PowerPoint in two modes: Partial (any pages of the entire PDF) and Whole!!

Please DO NOT give it a THUMBS DOWN simply because you use OpenOffice!!!

Once you have created your PowerPoint presentations from your PDF files, how about convert them to FLASH files for free??

But what if you didn't want to install anything in your machine and most of your potential readers do not have MICROSOFT OFFICE installed in their machines? No problem...

And how about convert your PPT files from your PDFs into a more appealing VIDEO??

http://www.effectmatrix.com/PowerPoint-Video-Converter/Free-PowerPoint-Video-Converter.htm (the FREE VERSION even supports PPT to HD video format conversion ==> COOL!!)

If you would instead love to make great online presentations in FLASH format but don't have Office installed in your machine, because you are a beggar or don't know the right tricks to grab it for cheap (LOL!!), well you could use this amazing FREE tool for that, kissing your wallet goodbye for good:

http://www.powerbullet.com/index.php

As you can see presentations can be exported as Flash embedded in HTML format or even as an .exe file: how cool is that??

Alternatively you could also convert your PDF and TEXT files into a more appealing and professional FLIPBOOK, rather than to PPT:

Did you know that you can do that for FREE?

http://www.3dpageflip.com/free-pdf-to-flash/index.html
http://www.flashbookmaker.com/free-flashbook-creator/index.html

And what if you could record VIDEOS from a connected webcam and then make printed FLIP BOOKS of them on the fly for FREE??

Ok, Giovanni...this is too good to be true...stop telling BS, right?

You are dead wrong dudes!!

So who said we need Microsoft PowerPoint (= $$$$$, if you are not smart enough...LOL!!) to create great online presentations?

Enjoy!!

No, LancasterPA, plagiarism is when you claim someone else's work as your own. Ashraf never did that, and he linked diectly to the original article.

How is "Needs Microsoft PowerPoint installed to convert documents" a con when it is a Microsoft PowerPoint Converter Ashraf. I guess all these programs are cons if you don't have a computer either. Thanks for the comments or plagiarism from dottech.org. It would be helpful if you actually used the program and gave an opine. Final Verdict is someone elses opinion.

Tried it, Works with Win 8 x64. Does exactly what it states. I did not find at all the comment, "Output/conversion quality is a hit or miss" but neither did Ashraf. He just copied what someone else said. In my opinion it is a keep and works.

I do not understand when you say there is plagiarism here. Maybe you do not know that dottech.com is hosted by Ashraf himelf So no plagiarism in copying what one said from another website.

@LancasterPA (#4): Plagiarism? That's a serious allegation. Ashraf never claimed to be the author of that review, but he's authored plenty of others on dotTech in the past four years. He used to post reviews directly on this site but I'm guessing he got fed up with the 99% drivel that makes up this comments section these days. I'd trust his (or any dotTech review) over anything I've seen around here. If you want to rag on someone for copying and pasting, look no further than your "king of freebies", Giovanni. If you're looking for a thorough, articulate review of software, including GOTD offers, rather than rants from people who can't figure out how to use a program, dotTech is where you'll find them.
