The easyConverter SDK Objects are a group of COM objects which contain the functionality to convert PDF to Word files. All of BCL's COM Objects can be accessed from a variety of programming environments.

NOTE: BCL easyConverter Desktop does not support PDF form. The form fields in your PDF would be converted into images. Also make sure that your PDF documents are not scanned-in PDF documents.
