Thank you all for sharing other tools, I definitly learnt something new about other tools that will make my workflow much easier.

I did not vote in the poll because it is not really a matter of which PDF converter I prefer, but the one I actually do have and use. To tell the truth, I find converting PDFs really irksome, and time consuming - not to speak about the section jumps inserted everywhere. It's really a headache. But this is no news for any of you, is it?

For extracted PDFs, Solid works quite acceptably. I updated it once and have now version 7.1, build 934, which seems an improvement over the former versions.
The real problem is - as you all have said - when the PDF is scanned and then your program sees it as an image and you cannot edit it. I did download some time ago a portable version of Abbyy Fine Reader (I believe it was version 8) but never got around much to using it.
I have now tried out the solution proposed with Wordfast Anywhere and it seems to work outstandingly well.
I am tempted by the favorable comments about Nitro, but since Solid performs acceptably for extracted pdfs, and now apparently the Wordfast Anywhere solution might help with scanned pdfs, I will stick to what I have and see how it goes.
Sometimes, when the documents are scanned but short, such as forms, certificates and the like, I don't waste time trying to convert them and simply replicate them as best I can directly in Word.
Thank you all for sharing, this exchange has been most instructive and enlightening. ▲ Collapse

The big TRIO im using for the last 2 years:
1. unscanned - Solid Converter - better then Nuance, Nitro, ... and many others - not tried all of them, but really many.
2. scanned - ABBYY pdf transformer 2.0 - no needs for 3.0 - already tried 3. Easy to use, very basic, manual selection of text, pictures or tables - but you can handle even the jpg, tiff or any other picture format - you have to create pdf before.

3. Direct editing - Infix pdf editor - really give it a try to this one. The feature "Translate" => "CAT Export" and re-import of translated files - tried only once, with no big success - but pdf files was really complicated. Please reply with your experience with CAT Export - Import. ▲ Collapse
