   Tracker Software, to be fair, makes it very clear that the free version   
   will be limited. To release these limitations users are advised to upgrade   
   to the 'Pro' version. IMO (YMMV), the free version was not something I   
   would wish to use to edit PDF or to convert to DOCX or whatever.   
      
   If the free PDX-Xchange editor were a free car, that car would do something   
   llke sound the horn continuously. Don't like the horn? Upgrade to the   
   "Pro" car.
