Question:

I have been using the free 50 limit service for a couple days. converting old word perfect files to word... it is working beautifully... but it is slow having to wait for the next day for the next free 50 conversions... so i thought i would subscribe to the basic monthly service (i assume upgrades are available if the need arises) my question is i don't see the lock on the page that i was going to buy the plan... is it a secure site without the little lock?

Answer:

Hi Arlene, our site is very secure - we use 128 bit SSL encryption. We're not sure why you aren't seeing the padlock icons. Would you be able to email our support team at support@zamzar.com, and let them know what browser and version of browser you are using? Thanks very much, the Zamzar team. P.S. Once you are signed up you can easily upgrade your account if you want to, through your Zamzar account page.

Answer:

Hi, thanks for your question. Your files should convert fine, as long as they aren't copyright-protected.

We hope that helps. Thanks, the Zamzar team

Question:

If i have zamzar convert pdf to word can i then edit the document?

Answer:

Hi Robin, if the file is a standard PDF file then we should be able to convert it to an editable Word document for you. Unfortunately, if the file contains a scanned document, we won't be able to convert it to an editable text format - you'd need to use specialist OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert this type of file to editable text. If you need any further help, don't hesitate to email us at support@zamzar.com. Thanks, the Zamzar team

Question:

Thought a free service. needed 9 converted 5 done and cannot do other 4

Answer:

Hi, with our free service you can convert 5 files per 24 hours. If you want to convert more files than this, you'll need to either wait 24 hours to convert the other files, or sign up for one of our paid accounts (starting at $9 per month). We hope that makes sense. Thanks, the Zamzar team.

Question:

I only have 9 files to convert and microsoft had helped me the other night, it told me i had reached the liimit of 5 per day but that was 2 days ago

Answer:

Hi, the five-file limit with our free service resets after 24 hours, so you'd need to wait 24 hours from when you last uploaded files to our site, to convert more files. If you need any help at all, feel free to email support@zamzar.com, and we'll be happy to help. Thanks, the Zamzar team.
