I tried a free trial of their conversion program on some sample documents,
and concluded it wasn't really quite ready for prime time yet. It is great
if you need to edit documents currently in PUFF, since it saves a lot of
typing. You will still need to go in and do editing on formatting, though.
Some formatting came over fine for me, but there were a number of
aggravating glitches.
I'd stick to Omnipage for converting PDF files to editable Word text, but
use Ghostscript/GSview to deal with PDF document security. They are small
downloads that just sit around quietly until you have a secured PDF document
you want to access fully.
