Expert Answer

Never use them with anything that has any printed information about yourself, such as bank accounts and Social Security. For that, only use a program that you have been recommended by your local professional, where you could log in securely and then convert within it based on being behind a password-protected wall. On your own computer, you can open up each page of the PDF and take a screenshot, which would turn it into a JPG. If your file doesn't contain any personal information, then, yes, use the free site.
