Question:

Sent file (11kb) to convert. received e-mail with link but link does not open-says error 1001. don't wish to sign up! seems that link will open if i join and pay fee... how is this advertised as free? from ernies@tinyworld.co.uk

Answer:

Hi Ernie, sorry for the issues. We do offer a genuinely free service for files up to 100MB. Unfortunately it sounds like either there was a problem with the conversion of the file, or that the link to the converted file had expired (as converted files are only available for download for 24 hours with our free service). Could you send the file and the details to support@zamzar.com and we'll take a look for you? Thanks.

Question:

Attempting to copy genealogy articles (that i scan for my own use). with adobe pdf to doc; leaves the entire article in mess, and i must do major editing to the document. will zamzar give me a clean copy?

Answer:

Hi Annette, could you email a couple of the documents to support@zamzar.com and we'll take a look for you? Scanned documents can be problematic, so you may need to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert your files, but we'd be happy to take a look. Thanks, the Zamzar team.

Question:

I have sent in a file, twice, but no response. any ideas? the first was sent last night, and then i sent it again this morning... thanks, joe

Answer:

Hi Joe, it's worth checking your email spam folder just in case the email with the link to your converted file ends up there. If not please email our team at support@zamzar.com and they can investigate for you.
