CoolSpool Software does exactly and perfectly how its supposed to

It's very easy for me because I can just drag my file, drop it into coolspoll converter then click convert button! The only thing that is not so great about this software but nothing too major either - maybe you should consider adding another option like converting from oracle 9i databases? There are other programs out there with different features/options compared if your looking at options outside what they offer in their price range (which seems fair). We use Converters often as we have…

Pros
  • It's a very easy software with a great price for our company
Cons
  • I have used it a great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great

Great program to manage conversions between different formats

I love, that this software is able not only convert old type (i-sp) format into modern ones like s3 or mdb but also it allows for conversion from any file/type you may need! The tool itself works very well without errors while converting documents in my case as we use them quite often at work - especially with our clients who are still using older versions oof office applications such us Excel 97 etc., which makes life much easier when handling their data compared what would be needed if one…

Pros
  • I love the ability to convert all kind of files from old formats to modern ones as well as the ability to change those formats on the fly!
Cons
  • I dislike the inability to automatically convert to a specific format on the fly when converting from one format to another, but this could be a way to automate that process

CoolSpool Software Helps With Any File Conversion

I have been using coolspools for about 10 years now, so its safe to say that it is stable software with some pretty advanced features (like full text search). The interface could use an update but not too bad! It does what it says - convert from one format into another or even just extract data out if your original file was damaged by something like hard drive failure. Sometimes there are bugs in older versions where you can't do certain functions but usually they get addressed quickly. We've…

Pros
  • It's a very stable product with a lot of features and the ability to extract data out of damaged files
Cons
  • The interface could use an update and the support team is not well known

This is the best solution I've seen so far. It does exactly what it says on the tin. It is great to use and easy to setup. It has the capability to convert old spool files into modern format(s). It will even search a library of previously converted files if you don't already have any. I've had a number of requests to assist customers with converting old file formats. This is a tool I would recommend without hesitation. A: We are trying to solve this problem too! :) So basically, you're…

Pros
  • I'm very pleased with this product.
  • It's easy to use.
  • It's good value for money.
Cons
  • The software isn't compatible with my particular web host.
  • There aren't many templates available.
  • There's a bug that prevents me from accessing the help section.
