I used "The Document Converter" to convert several files from Microsoft Word .doc format to its .docx format. For the most part it worked as advertised, except: 1) if the .doc file contains a macro of any sort, "The Document Converter" won't convert it and 2) if you are attempting a mass conversion of .doc files to .docx files, "The Document Converter" won't pass the original (file) values for "Date Created" and "Date Modified" to the new .docx file(s), but rather resets it to today's date. If it is important that you retain the original "Date Created" and "Date Modified" file values so that you can sort them chronologically, "The Document Converter" will make a lot of work for you forcing you to manually reset those old values in the new converted files.

The app does exactly what is says it does and is very quick about it, so in terms of quality, it is excellent. My reason for giving it a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 is because it only allows you to convert 2 files for free before hiding behind a paywall. Normally, this would be a huge problem for me, but this app offers a lifetime pass for $10 which, for the amount of times I use it, seems like a reasonable price to me.UPDATE: I factory reset my Mac because it was slowing down and when I reinstalled this app, it said I did not have access to the premium version. Naturally, I assumed it was because I signed out of my Apple account so when I signed in again and hit "Restore my Purchase", nothing was updated. I tried several times a day for a couple weeks to no avail. I looked at the premium price and I noticed the price had jumped from $10 to $20. I was unhappy about having to pay double what I payed before after paying for it once. Honestly, I do not know why I purchased it again because I would have rather paid for a different service if I was going to pay this high of a price.

The software converted Word docs and JPEG files easily and effectively. I purchased the app on the Mac App Store. I exchanged three e-mails with the developer to get assistance with either allowing me to use the app on *both* my Mac Mini and Mac Air, AS THE EULA PERMITS, or in the worst case, to transfer the license to my Mac Air. After providing callous and mindless advice to “restore purchases,” which did not work, the developer stopped responding to me. I sent *seven* e-mails and practically begged the developer to respond, as opposed to my involving Apple and requesting a refund. After my seventh e-mail, which was six too many for such a trivial issue, I requested and received a $20 refund from Apple. The developer’s disinterest and arrogance toward me was disheartening. I have since discovered that there are FREE, well-known tools online to accomplish the limited purpose behind my purchase of the software, i.e., Word-to-pdf conversion. I almost NEVER write reviews, though I write and review EULAs as part of my job, and my construction of the developer’s EULA is correct. But the way the developer treated me was worthy of this honest review.

I have several hundred old pict files. This was a file format that apple created (way ahead of its time) that had a bit mapped layer and a vector layer - like PDF files. So I would like a program that would maintain the information in its original format. Sense PDF how's this structure I was hoping that I could change all my PICTs to PDF and keeping the file structure the same. But when I try to convert PICT to PDF, I got an error message. There was nothing wrong with the files because they were open in Preview. However, Preview inputs PICT files and output files that are only bitmapped. So they can't be edited in something like illustrator. I tried different outfit formats and finally found one that would work: PICT to JPEG. Of course this is not what I want because JPEG is only bitmapped and the vector information is lost. To add insult to injury, the one thing that I could get to work with something I didn't want, and I would be charged monthly. So what's the purpose of this program? It seems to do exactly what Apples Preview does.
