Doxillion Document Converter (beta)
Convert your documents to and from HTML, PDF, DOC and DOCX formats. Maybe.

Doxillion Document Converter is a straightforward tool that will quickly convert files between many common formats (HTML, PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, and TXT, with the ability to read - but not write - WPD files).

This sounded great, especially for a (currently) free tool, but did it work? Well, not always as you might hope. We pointed the program at a set of PDFs (it can run batch conversions of entire folders, when necessary) and it crashed. We tried again with single PDFs and it either extracted just the title page, or, more normally, completed the document but left out all the images.

Not a great start, then, even by beta standards, but when we tried simpler documents the results were significantly better, with the program quickly and accurately converting a series of plain text DOC, DOCX and RTF files to PDF.

And so while we wouldn't recommend Doxillion Document Converter for use with lengthy or complex documents, if, say, you just want to convert some text-only DOCX files to HTML or PDF, then it's definitely worth giving the program a try.

Verdict:

Doxillion looks good, is easy to use, and quickly converted simple text-only documents between its supported formats. Try the program with more complex documents, though, and the results are currently very poor.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 (v11.0.6)

Free Full Commercial Software

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 is a compact, simple, but surprisingly feature-packed disc burning suite.

The program makes it easy to create simple data discs and audio CDs, for instance: just drag and drop your files onto the list area and you'll be burning the finished disc in a couple of clicks.

That's just the start, though. Burning Studio 2013 can also create data discs with customised, interactive multi-page menus, perfect if you'd like a more professional way to share and present the disc contents.

A built-in backup tool allows you to create backups which may be encrypted, compressed, and span several CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.

And there are modules to create VCD or SVCD video projects; burn video DVDs or Blu-ray discs from prepared folders; create, browse or burn disc images (ISO, CUE/ BIN and Ashdisc formats are supported); copy discs, erase them, design and print disc covers, labels and booklets, and more.

The focus throughout is on ease of use, though, and so Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 remains very straightforward, whatever you're doing. Most disc projects are created via the same simple interface, and for the most part all you have to do is drag and drop the necessary files. But experts will find more advanced options are only a click away, and if you need to then you can set ISO and UDF version, enable Joliet, make a disc bootable and more.

Note the download here will take you to the Downloadcrew Software Store where you can download Burning Studio 2013.
