Help with tricky files
Kim Komando (4/24/08)
It’s happened to all of us. We get a file that we would like to edit. But we don’t have the correct software to open the file.
There is usually a way to convert files to a usable format. But that can involve buying new software. Or, maybe we get lucky and find a free converter online.
Well, I have a better solution for you: Zamzar. This site will convert files among a variety of formats. It handles music, video and documents.
But one feature is sure to draw attention. You can convert a PDF file to a Word document! That means you can edit PDF files sent to you.
To get started, simply upload your file and choose the desired format. Then, enter your e-mail address and click Convert. A link to the new file will be mailed to you.
You can convert files at Zamzar for free. However, you can only convert five files at once. The combined file sizes cannot exceed 100 megabytes.
If you have larger files, you can sign up for a paid account. zamzar.com
