I am looking for a Program/application where I can take my existing documents and convert them into various different formats, like from pdf to text and so on.

It would be great to be able to edit the documents as well.

I would prefer this to be a free application or at a modest cost

I am open to suggestions or ideas,

Thanks, HeadRanger George

This link can convert many types of file, browse to the file you would lik to format to and the format you would like to format it to and the site converts it and then you can download the file
