I just wrote about ConvertPDFtoWord today. I didn’t discover it here, but I did on Delicious. I’m guessing it received its popularity here.

I like statbrain too, but it’s visit guess was way off for me.

I was very interested in the ConvertPDFToWord site and service. The only concern I have about online conversion is what happens to the PDF document uploaded and Word doc downloaded in terms of security. Is a copy left up on their servers? If so, this would not be appropriate for business use. I did not see way to contact them on their site for privacy information, so am concerned.
