About PDF to Word

PDF to Word creates an editable .docx file from your PDF. In Editable text mode the converter reads where each piece of text sits on the page and rebuilds paragraphs, headings, bold and italic text, indentation and centered lines, so you can edit the content in Word. In Page images mode each page is placed in the Word file as a picture, which looks identical to the PDF but can’t be edited — a good choice for scanned documents.

As a PDF converter for Word users it can convert PDF to Word, save a PDF to DOCX, or turn a PDF to editable Word text in one step. Use Page images mode if the file is a scan.

A PDF doesn’t store paragraphs or tables the way Word does, so results depend on the document: simple text layouts convert well, while tables, multiple columns and forms come out approximated. There is no OCR, and pictures are not included in editable-text mode. Always review the result in Word.

Tips

Guides for PDF to Word

Good to know

How accurate is the conversion?

Editable text mode rebuilds paragraphs, headings, font styles and alignment from the text positions. Complex layouts — multiple columns, tables and forms — come out approximated, and tables become tab-separated text. Always check the result in Word.

My PDF is a scan. What now?

Scanned PDFs contain pictures of text, not real text, and OCR isn’t supported yet. Use Page images mode to place each page in Word as a picture.

Are the PDF’s pictures included?

Not in Editable text mode. Use Page images mode if you need everything exactly as it looks.

Is it free?
