Because a legitimate PDF to TNS converter is rare, scammers have flooded the market. Be aware of red flags: The keyword "exclusive" is not marketing fluff

A true exclusive tool usually operates on a private beta model or a one-time purchase for lifetime updates. Expect to pay in the range of $15–$30 for a functional offline converter.
