The PDF Baron software from hxxp://pdfbaron.com/ is promoted as a browser extension for Google Chrome to power users who want an easy way to convert PDFs to DOC format and vice versa. Before you proceed to install the PDF Baron software, it is a good idea to take the time to read the EULA and Privacy Agreement posted on Pdfbaron.com/eula.html and dfbaron.com/privacy.html. You should take into consideration that the PDF Baron extension is an ad-supported product developed by Tersertude Ltd. You can benefit from what the PDF Baron extension has to offer free of charge. However, the PDF Baron app requires access to read all data you exchange with third parties, what extensions you are running in the background and your browsing history. You will find a list of the requests made by the PDF Baron extension below:

  • Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
  • Replace the page you see when opening a new tab.
  • Manage your apps, extensions and themes.

You might notice that the PDF Baron extension changes the default new tab page in Google Chrome to hxxp://tab.pdfbaron.com. The Tab.pdfbaron.com portal is presented as a search service linked to the PDF Baron, but you are not required to have the extension installed if you want to load the conversion tool on Tab.pdfbaron.com. Keep in mind that Tab.pdfbaron.com does not support the HTTPS encryption, and third-parties can record your input on the site without your knowledge. Hence, avoid writing your social security number, contact information and other personal information that may be of use to con artists and marketers. The PDF Baron extension from Tersertude Ltd. is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted program (PUP) that may not satisfy your expectations. If you are considering to remove the PDF Baron extension, it may be a good idea to use a trusted anti-spyware scanner that can erase all traces of the app and the persistent Web beacons used by advertisers.
