New WPS to DOC file converter engine

Although the Docx2doc.com web site does not retain documents, we do look at the statistics at the success rate of individual file converters. We had noticed that the WPS to DOC converter did not meet our standards, and we put some effort in to improving this converter.

The WPS file extension refers to Microsoft Works Documents. Microsoft Works is a stripped down version of Microsoft Word, and has it's own file format because it does not contain the full features of MS Word.

We completely changed the converter engine for WPS to DOC, and it has a much better conversion success rate now. We are pleased to present the new

Docx2doc.com Downtime due to Godaddy DOS Attack

Although Docx2doc.com does not use Godaddy to host our web site, we did experience downtime because one service in particular uses the Godaddy service. The DNS (Domain Name Service) for Godaddy was down for hours yesterday making Docx2doc.com inaccessable because the the domain name could not be translated into and IP (Internet Protocol) address.

Your computer tries to find our site IP address when you type in www.docx2doc.com into your browser or click on a link. This service was not working because of the Denial of Services (DOS) attack on Godaddy and users subsequently could not go to our web site.

After several hours of downtime Monday it appears systems are back to normal. We apologize for any inconvenience.

You might receive a PDF file on a smartphone or computer without a PDF viewer available. No need to panic, Docx2doc.com can also extract just the text of a PDF file so you can see what is inside.

Of course, the PDF to Text Converter is done online, so it is not necessary to download programs or install untrusted software. Running unknown executables on your compter or smart phone may embedd a trojan horse or virus on your computer. By using the Docx2doc.com online converter, we eliminate this risk as we host the software converter program on our servers.

Of course, changing the PDF file to text does lose some formatting, but the text should be readable to give you a good idea what the PDF document is about. You can also convert the PDF file to MS Word Doc or Docx format to preserve some of the formatting.
