Convert PDF to Word
PDF to Word turns a PDF into a DOCX file you can edit in Microsoft Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. It's the quickest way to reuse text from a PDF, correct a document you no longer have the original of, or fill in a form that doesn't have fields.
Fonts are matched as closely as possible, images are kept in place, and every PDF page starts a new page in Word. If you only need a few pages, extract them first: smaller files convert faster and are easier to tidy up. For scans, a straight, sharp image gives the best text.
An honest note: PDFs don't store paragraphs, only positioned lines of text. The Word file therefore keeps the look of each page, but text often comes as separate lines or boxes. That's fine for copying and small edits; complex layouts need some tidying. Scanned pages are read with OCR first, in the language you choose.
The conversion runs on our secure server. Your file is encrypted on arrival and deleted right after download, never kept longer than 10 minutes.
