Jump to: •Interface •PDF conversion •Convert to PDF •PDF manipulation •Terms •Final verdict •Scorecard Easy PDF is a very interesting online PDF tool, which means you can access it from any device, even a phone or tablet. Its purpose is to help you convert files to and from the PDF format. There are also tools for merging PDFs together, and even converting scanned PDFs to searchable text via Optical Character Recognition. That’s quite a lot of functionality, and perhaps best of all, this is a free service - although you do have to wonder how they make their money.
•Easy web access
•Simple navigation through clean interface
Whichever device you have, you access the service via a web browser. Once there, you’ll find the interface is as sparse as they come. You’re graced with 15 icons organised into rows and columns (this gets resized depending on your screen’s dimensions).
How this works is easy: start by selecting the tool you wish to use.
You can convert documents to various other file formats, such as PDF to Word, PDF to Powerpoint, PDF to Excel, and PDF to AutoCAD. It’s also possible to change file types to Text, JPG, PNG or GIF. Each has their respective icon to click on, so it’s simple to get started.
Doing the reverse is also available, by turning a Word document to PDF, or JPG to PDF. However, your options are much more limited in that direction.
•Quick to upload, slow to download
•Excellent automatic OCR
Select the appropriate icon and you’re asked to provide the service with a file. You can do so by dragging one from your computer straight onto the page. Importing can also be done through Dropbox or Google Drive.
The upload is very fast, but it will take some time for the conversion to take place. Obviously the more complex the document, the longer it will take, although there is a noticeable delay even for simple files, containing just a few pages of plain text. Have one with a photo, or a complex layout, and it takes even longer.
Once completed, you can download the results, and that’s painfully slow too. It’s also possible to download the finished product back to the two cloud storage services.
One thing we particularly liked was when converting a scanned PDF to Word. Our scanner simply converts the page to an image, but during the conversion process, Easy PDF automatically runs an OCR through the page, turning that photo into selectable and editable text. It’s not perfect (no OCR is in our experience), but it’s more than good enough.
•Can convert JPG and Word to PDF
•Frequent failures
Using the JPG to PDF tool worked as expected. The principle is exactly the same as when you try to convert a PDF into another format, with every step of the way being similar - you just need to select a different icon at the start.
The service came a cropper when we tried to use Word to PDF. We tried various files. Complex files, files with columns, files with images, files with just plain text. They all failed. Every single one of them.
Could the service have been having a bad day? Possibly, so we tried it on another day, and this time it did work. Which tells us the service is not reliable. You can’t really wait a few hours or even a day, if you need a file converted now.
Maybe you won’t experience this yourself when you try out the service, but knowing Easy PDF can fail so easily - and frequently when we tried it - makes it hard to recommend.
•Disappointing PDF 'creation' tool
•Other tools regularly failed
We now come to what look like useful tools: ‘PDF Creation’, ‘PDF Split’ and ‘PDF Merge’.
We were eager to explore those, but we were disappointed pretty fast.
Take ‘PDF Creation’ (please, as the old joke goes). We expected to be able to create a PDF, i.e. edit them in some way, so as to differentiate that tool from the other ‘XX to PDF’ icons available.
Instead this is just a tool to transform any file format (more than 100 file formats according to the service), into a PDF. Upload it, click ‘Create PDF’, and it’s (eventually) converted. You can’t even add multiple files to convert them all at once, so essentially it’s just a simplification of the individual tools we already explored above. Certainly feels like duplication. It probably would be easier to remove those other icons and just bring this one front and centre to clean up the interface.
•Opaque terms and conditions
•Instals cookies on your machine
So, reliability isn’t that great, and if you can’t trust a service, would you even use it regularly?
Then we come to the terms and conditions. We are assured that Easy PDF is anonymous, that your connection is secure, that your files are deleted after 6 hours - similar to Sejda, which features a secure 2-hour automatic data-wipe functionality.
Easy PDF instals cookies on your device in order to make it work, they claim. But, in recent years, we’ve become extremely wary of ‘free’ services. Personally, we wouldn’t hand over our cloud storage usernames and passwords, but maybe you would be more trusting souls.
•Terms score: 2/5
Easy PDF might be ‘easy’ for uploading files to it, but everything else feels haphazard. Sometimes, the service worked, other times it didn’t. It claims to offer unlimited PDF conversions, which would be fantastic, if you didn’t have to wait and wait and wait for the process to fail more often than not - in our experience at least. As is often the case, ‘your mileage may vary’.
There’s also the trust aspect. Can you trust a free online PDF convertor service to keep your anonymity? They do state that “the data your [sic] give to us will only be used for document conversion and website analytics”. But precisely what those website analytics are remains a mystery.
If the service worked reliably, it would be easy to recommend despite this.
But sadly, it didn’t. If you own a Mac, you don’t actually need this service as you can convert any file to a PDF straight from the Print command, and PDF manipulation is a synch using the Apple Preview PDF reader and editor app.
With a few mouse clicks you can merge several documents, remove individual pages from a PDF or split a file into several small PDFs.
