Free PDF to Word Online Converter
So you have a PDF document and you need to convert it to a Word document. You don’t have to purchase any software to do this.
NitroPDF offer a free online PDF to Word Converter at http://www.pdftoword.com.
As you can see from the screenshot above it is extremely simple to use. Just find the file you want to convert. Decide if you want it as a Word document or as Rich Text Format (RTF). Enter an email address that you want the file sending to and press Convert. The document will arrive a couple of minutes later in your inbox.
I found that during the conversion process all my styles that I had set up in the original document were lost. So don’t expect perfect formatting.
I did some testing on whether adding security to a PDF would allow the document to be converted. If the security is set to Changes Not Permitted then the document will not be converted at all.
NitroPDF also do a free PDF to Excel online converting service http://www.pdftoexcelonline.com.
Happy Converting!
The Benefits of Hiring a Virtual Assistant
Virtual Assistant vs a Temp
The first time that you utilise a temp it will work out cheaper but over time a Virtual Assistant will be more cost effective.
Repetitive Training:
Generally when you hire a temp on an adhoc basis it will be a different temp each time (a good temp will be on other assignments). Each temp you hire will need to be trained, introduced to the staff and shown where all the facilities are. This could take half a day before any actual work is performed.
A Virtual Assistant will provide you with a consultation to establish your requirements. You will only need to explain your methods once and the details will be recorded for the next time you use the Services.
Time Wastage:
You will pay a temp for coffee breaks, chats by the photocopier, and time spent using the facilities!
You will not be charged for any of these activities.
Minimum Hire Period:
A temp cannot be hired for one hour only and most temps want long term assignments.
If required, a Virtual Assistant can be hired for one hour only.
Repeat Business:
It is very rare that a temp will return to the same company, so there will be no need to make an impression. A temp is less likely to be proactive.
Virtual Assistants are self-employed professionals. It is important that we exceed your expectations so that you use our services again. We will offer suggestions for process improvements.
Virtual Assistant vs a Permanent Employee
Employee Overheads:
There are a number of employee overheads that you will need to pay, these include holidays, sickness, maternity leave and a pension.
As a Virtual Assistant operates on a self-employed basis you would not have to pay for holidays, sickness, maternity leave or a pension.
Constant Workload:
If you do not have a constant workload for a permanent employee, there will be times when they are costing you money.
You can utilise the services of a Virtual Assistant as and when required or on a retainer basis.
Additional Equipment and Space Required:
Additional equipment may need to be purchased for a permanent employee and desk space sought.
Virtual Assistants operate from their own premises and utilise all their own equipment.
