Zamzar is an online service that converts a humongous number of different file formats – it’s worth trying out if someone sends you an attachment that you can’t open – or you need to convert between different office/av/audio/multimedia formats.
The caveat is that it shouldn’t be used to convert confidential files/documents, as the converted file is left on their servers on a publicly accessible page for a day (it’d be pretty unlikely that anyone would find it, but still.)
Potentially really, really useful.
Have you managed to get a conversion though – I uploaded a .pdf asked to convert to .dc and gave my yahoo mailbox but never got the document delivered – i tried 3 times and gave up.
one worry is that sites like this could harvest email addresses and your documents so be careful what documents you upload for conversion
Yeah – converted a .WPS file to word in about 3 minutes. It might be susceptible to load, it’s been pretty widely linked. I wouldn’t use a college mail for most web2.0 services.
