		<description>Decent looking interface...
and I was eager to install it and give all the features a test.

Check out the feature comparisons on their website - from the buy page, click on "feature matrix".

This is indeed a "LITE" version.  The features I was most interested in are stripped out of this one.

• No backup to FTP
• No backing up your network drives
• No backing from optical drives.  No burning - backing up to optical drives
• No password lock on the program
• No encryption on the backup files
• No progress indicator and no error warning by email.  No error warning sounds, and no "backup view", no backup history,  no "View jobs/groups in backup list as Tree or List" or "View jobs/groups in backup list as Icons"

 (it's obvious they've hobbled it to intentionally make it hard to see what's going on with your backup jobs)

• No gadget for the sidebar (I like gadgets)
• Although this claims to have automatic backup features, it appears that all the good automatic features are totally removed - they've even removed the option to start with Windows, and it's obvious that there's really no need to with this version.

NOTE: After seeing all the features in the other versions, it makes me very interested in their full backup product.

That's the sad thing. They have a very rich, full featured program - and it's probably great.  But this isn't it.

-  this version has been totally butchered.  
We sometimes get those special editions here.  The ones with the low prices and all the functions kneecapped.  I'm not interested - please don't give us a demo labeled as a retail product.  I'll never buy what your offering if that's how your company handles promotions.  I need to trust a certain level of support.  We have some great companies giving us products here.  I inevitably need to buy them for the support, and for the ability to reinstall.  I can download demo versions all day - that's not what I come here for.

I do not recommend installing it.</description>

		<description>When a company says"May 22, 2012
Backup4all Lite is an award-winning backup program for Windows" I would like to see where or who, they got their award from. I've searched and can't find backup 4 all anywhere.
 Win7 has it's own backup function too.  
1. System restore point
2. %SystemRoot%\System32\control.exe /name Microsoft.BackupAndRestore
That's basically all you need.</description>

		<description>As always, when it comes to backup software I only use Paragon products.

It is a preference. You can listen to me or ignore me :)

If you'd like to listen, read more about Paragon giveaways AND a list of the BEST free backup softwares &lt;a href="http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,7583.0.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

Enjoy &amp; peace!

		<description>&lt;b&gt;@ Giovanni, #54:&lt;/b&gt; Not sure if the Italian sun is frying your brain today but the pdf to Word converter links you keep providing are to a developer well known for hucksterism: its website talks about "FREE DOWNLOAD" to make it &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;seem&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the actual product is free -- it isn't -- and the Softpedia link I'm using as a result of your info yields only a "free" version that is actually &lt;b&gt;a trial version that manages no more than half of a document.&lt;/b&gt;

And the result is. . . Appalling. Quite the worst dis-assembly of a PDF file into a Word document I've ever seen. I wouldn't touch it with a barge-pole, never mind pay the absurdly inflated price the developer is trying to wheedle out of unsuspecting "FREE" downloaders.

As I said earlier in this thread: no app of this nature is going to be pitch-perfect, but today's offer from Wondershare is well worth downloading and trying out because I've had few problems with it in the past, and when it's failed, then Anybiz PDF to Word has succeeded, and when Anybiz has messed up, Wondershare has succeeded. 

As to the non-free &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"pdf to Word converter",&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; I've no idea what it can do other than make twice the amount of mess it already has done just now with 50% of a disassembled pdf file. And I actually have Word on this computer, so either (a) that's the cause of the problem or (b) what I'm seeing is actually better than the poor sods who don't have Word will get.

Best advice for those who actually *need* to have software allowing them to extract a Word document from a pdf: go with today's giveaway of the day from Wondershare.  

Ciao!</description>

		<description>Giovanni, #54, are you saying, in your emphatic "When I say it is free, it is free" claim, that you're handing out $30 to anyone who wants it? Because that's what you'd be doing if you took a $30 bet, claiming what you continue to claim. Following _your_ links takes you to Softpedia's web site, where version 3.03 downloads when you select the download on the page labeled version 3.0. I've done it twice today, and I'll bet you haven't done it once, because both times, I got the same install files, which install to the same poor-quality converter which tells you right up front that it's for $30 and the demo that you've downloaded only processes half the files you give it.

It's ok to make a recommendation which, due to time or memory, is flat out wrong, but to reiterate it this many times and infer idiocy on the part of those who contradict you when they are right is just sad.

Imagine if you betatested today's software, found a bug, and reported it, and Wondershare's people told you it wasn't there? You'd be pretty miffed, and I bet you'd be back here railing against them for not bothering to check before talking. This is exactly what you should have done when you got two people telling you the truth.

Be as macho as your "KING OF FREEBIES.....LOL!!" claim tries to, download the software you tell others to, clean out the old version and install what your link has given others, then come clean.</description>

		<description>@#55, Tim Rowe: Actually this is a PDF to Word converter, NOT the other way round.  Plus, versions of Word prior to Word 2010 cannot save to PDF unless you install a PDF 'printer' driver to do so.</description>

Regularly during the day, I’ve used my e-mail to get a registration code for this program! I’m using only ONE browser, IE8, but no matter what, I’m NOT receiving a registration code from Wondershare!!!
Something is wrong, and that’s a pity for this site…</description>
