Do you know what ConvertPDFToWord is?
Are you looking for a way to convert PDF files into Microsoft Word documents? If you are, you might come across a browser extension called ConvertPDFToWord. If so, you should know that this application falls under the classification of potentially unwanted programs. As you see, the application could have annoying or unwanted functionality. Naturally, if you are interested in it, we advise reading our full report, in which we talk about how the extension could be spread, how it could work, and how to erase it if you change your mind after installing it. Also, we can offer our removal guide available below the main text that shows how to delete ConvertPDFToWord from Google Chrome step by step. We do not include instructions for other browsers because the potentially unwanted program works only Google Chrome.
ConvertPDFToWord is available on a website called convertpdftoword.co and since it is compatible with Google Chrome, the application is also offered on the Chrome Web Store page. Since the extension does not have user reviews or a rating, we doubt that many users would want to download it from the mentioned platform. As for the tool’s homepage, we do not think that users would find it without knowing the application’s name. Therefore, we believe that like other potentially unwanted programs the extension could be spread through pop-ups, ads, and file sharing web pages. Consequently, we recommend against downloading tools if they are offered on unreliable websites or any kinds of notifications and ads. It is best to download tools from legitimate websites if you want to avoid questionable software. Plus, it is always a good idea to research the applications that you wish to download first.
According to ConvertPDFToWord description, the extension is easy to install and provides a file converter that does not require registration. Our researchers have tested this file converter and say that it works. However, we do not think that it is an ideal tool because it requires you installing a potentially unwanted program. If you do not like this either, we recommend using free online converters that require neither registration nor installation. It is also said that ConvertPDFToWord provides a search tool. We noticed that the application places it on the browser’s new tab. Meaning that after installing the extension your browser should start loading searchquery.convertpdftoword.co when you create a new tab. The search engine might seem useful, but you should know that it redirects to the Yahoo search engine, which means it might not display search results itself.
