For those who don't know what iLovePDF is, it basically allows you to convert a literal equal copy of PDF into docx or a format more suited towards editing on LibreOffice/OpenOffice and some other things related to PDF, rarely losing some visual formatting when it does its usually related to the font but its not so often

Damn, thats some high standards

i didnt say its not actively maintained as it would be subjective standard posed by me. i said "not as actively maintained as StirlingPDF" that implies a standard posed by StirlingPDF

Oh, sorry. My head read that as two sentences

no worries, mate. at least now it's been cleared up, no one is perfect. i would never judge a opensource software i just said that to make it clear because some people see projects more actively maintained as a sign of constant bug/security fixes which implies higher stability and some people dont like to have to tweak things even a bit (which i totally get, not everyone is capable or some are and just dont have the time) so i pointed it out that but i wanted to still bring light about PDFDing as i see it another interesting software to the purposes asked in this topic, maybe someone with time might use it and end up helping report bugs to the devs but i know not everyone has time for it
