VMware Workstation also includes VMware Player which will work beyond the free 30 day trial of VMware Workstation.  You can use it to run your VMs to retrieve the documents.  BTW it is a good practice to separately backup User Data off of the VM's Filesystem onto the Host's Filesystem or external storage!

You may simply start VMware Player, and register your VM's using "File" -> "Open..." and selecting the individual VMs' configuration (.vmx) files. This will add the VMs to the VMware Player's Library from where you can then start the VMs.
