XtremePDFConverter VCL is a powerful VCL component for intelligently
converting PDF to easily editable Word RTF documents. XtremePDFConverter uses
artificial intelligence and also allows inputs from the user code to accurately
recognize and convert paragraphs, tables, bullets, numbered lists, newspaper
columns, and other standard document formatting features. XtremePDFConverter
outputs Word RTF documents that are well-formatted and easily editable.
Unlike Word documents, PDF documents usually do not contain enough
information about the logical organization of text and other data. What looks like a
paragraph to us humans may only be internally represented as multiple strands of
text or characters on a 2-D Cartesian plane. XtremePDFConverter parses PDF page
elements, tests them against
certain criteria, decides whether those page elements could represent a paragraph
or a table or a list or something else, and then applies appropriate conversion
rules. The resultant document is much more usable and editable than the input PDF
document. Unlike many products in the market, XtremePDFConverter generates regular
paragraphs. It uses text boxes only for rotated text elements and only when
required.
XtremePDFConverter currently supports conversion of PDF to RTF. RTF
is a popular document format introduced by Microsoft and is compatible with most
word-processing applications such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, Abiword, KWord,
… and also online productivity suites such as Google Docs, Lotus Symphony,
and Microsoft Office Live. XtremePDFConverter does not require PDF software such
as Adobe PDF library, Adobe Acrobat Professional, Adobe PDF Reader or
GhostScript.
For complete peace of mind and unmatched value for money, do consider

Licenses
The license agreements governing the use of this product are given
below. For additional understanding of the agreements, please refer to our
licensing and purchasing guide.
Licensing and Purchasing Guide
Our Aim: The license agreements are intended to be fair to
both our customers and the team that made the products.
Hence, they safeguard the interest of all stakeholders while keeping
the terms simple and straightforward.
Our Considerations:
Broad range of applications our customers make.
Nature of our components - domain-specific and
providing functionality of full-fledged applications
Our License Types:
Trial License
Developer Subscription
Special Application License
SDK License
OEM License
Student Academic License
Source Code License
Thought Leader/Technical Evangelist License
Choosing Your License:
For Development: Get one DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTION for each
developer. With one DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTION, a developer can
install the GNOSTICE PRODUCT in one desktop and one laptop
that the developer uses. For installing on additional
computers, buy additional DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTIONS.
For Distribution:
If the software that you are developing can provide valuable
functionality on its own without the GNOSTICE PRODUCT, then it
could qualify as an AUTHORIZED DERIVED APPLICATION. An
AUTHORIZED DERIVED APPLICATION would be an end-user software
in which the GNOSTICE PRODUCT would be providing supplementary
functionality. In such cases, you would not have to provide any
additional royalty in the form of a SPECIAL APPLICATION LICENSE or a
SPECIAL SERVER LICENSE. Your purchase of DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTION(S)
should be enough.
If the software that you are creating is heavily dependent
on the GNOSTICE PRODUCT (such as end-user desktop/server/Web-based
document viewers, editors, and converters…), get a
SPECIAL APPLICATION LICENSE or a SPECIAL DEVELOPER LICENSE in
addition to your DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTION(S).
If the software that you are creating is a developer tool and
exposes functionality provided by the GNOSTICE PRODUCT using an
application programming interface (API) (say a component library or
a Web API), then get an SDK LICENSE in addition to your DEVELOPER
SUBSCRIPTION(S).
If the software that you are creating is a developer tool
(say an IDE) AND bundles the GNOSTICE PRODUCT in a non-compiled
form, then get an OEM LICENSE in addition to your DEVELOPER
SUBSCRIPTION(S).
If you are a student and want to use the GNOSTICE PRODUCT
for your project work, then you can get the low-priced STUDENT
ACADEMIC LICENSE instead of the more expensive DEVELOPER
SUBSCRIPTION.
Non-Profit Organizations: Giving discounts for non-profit organizations
requires us to be judgemental about their intentions and practices. For this
reason, we provide discounts only to students and educational institutions. It requires limited scrutiny
and involves no discrimination. This is a convenient policy and we would
like to stick with it. Please excuse us if you are a non-profit looking for
a discount. We will not be able to help you in that regard.
License Enforcement Techniques: When installing the
GNOSTICE PRODUCT, the installation program may require an
Internet connection.
Assigning an automated build computer:
With your first DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTION, you get to designate one computer as a
BUILD MACHINE. For your second BUILD MACHINE, you need to have procured at least 6
DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTIONS. For your third free BUILD MACHINE, you should have procured
at least 11 SUBSCRIPTION licenses. For every five DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTIONS that you
have purchased after your first DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTION, you can designate only one
BUILD MACHINE for free. This restriction is applicable only to computers designated
as BUILD MACHINES for free. It does not affect your right to create builds on any
computer for which you have procured a DEVELOPER SUBSCRIPTION.
Renewal, Upgrade and Support Policy:
Get discounts on volume purchases.
Pay only 40% of the prevailing price for renewals within 1 year of
expiry and 60% after more than 1 year of expiry.
Upgrade to parent-product bouquets without losing money - pay only
the difference - if upgrade is made within one year of expiry.
Free major and minor updates for 12 months.
Free e-mail support for 12 months.
Thought Leader/Technical Evangelist License is available only by
invitation by Gnostice. It is not available on request.
