This is really wierd. When I go to http://www.dopdf.com/ the page opens ok. When I put my cursor on the green 'Download Now' the status bar in my 3.5.5 FF shows: http://googleheads.g.doubleclick.net/aclk?........ and it goes on for another mile. Clicking on that green button takes me again to http://www1.uniblue.com/pc/rb/google/content/en/img/3/ Something IS screwy. Tonight I went another route and got to cnet.com. From there I downloaded the prog.

Tonight I went another route and got to cnet.com. > From there I downloaded the prog. Curiouser and curiouser. In FF 3.6.3, the page renders a green "Get It" button. For me, that link appears to be the default doPDF download site. (http://www.software112.com/products/dopdf-free-pdf-converter+quick-download.html) Never really noticed it before, but probably that's because I use PDF-XChange. ;-) Ron

(I'm > puzzled by your mental jump.) If the OP mentioned converting PDF to Word, I missed it. I used to use PDF Creator, but I switched to a commercial program.
