PDF Download Pro 2.1

PDF Download Pro uses Google’s search engine to locate and download from the Web e-books and documents in PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and RTF formats. It can download selected files only or all the documents found. Its one-screen interface and the use of Google’s search algorithm make it extremely simple and suitable for all types of users.

As the software is entirely based on Google’s search engine, you may ask what are the benefits of parting with dollars to find and download documents that Google can locate for free. Actually, this tool offers you at least two features that Google does not provide – one is the possibility of downloading more than one file at a time, and another one is the fact that you can specify the type or types of documents you wish to locate and download. PDF Download Pro searches for documents in the Web that satisfy both conditions – that they are in one of the formats selected and that their title includes the keywords used for the search. The program retrieves the full URL of the found document, as well as its size in bytes. All you need to do next is to select the documents you want the program to batch-download for you.

The program is worth its price for these two features alone, though it also has its drawbacks. Thus, the amount of provided information – file name and size – may be insufficient sometimes to determine if a given document is worth downloading or not. When performing the same search using Google, you always have the possibility of visiting the website that hosts the file, and learn more about it. However, if a bulk download of documents in a specific file format is your priority, you will find this tool a serious option to consider.
