About the PDF to Word
Need to edit the text of a PDF? This PDF to Word converter extracts the text of every page into an editable .docx document, keeping one Word page per PDF page so you can find your place easily. It works best with text-based PDFs; for scanned pages use OCR to Word, which reads the text from images first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a PDF to Word?
Upload the PDF and click Convert. Download the .docx file and open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Pages or LibreOffice.
Will the formatting be the same as the PDF?
The text is extracted line by line with a page break per PDF page. Complex layouts, columns, images and tables are not recreated — for those, editing a copy of the PDF directly may be easier.
How do I convert a scanned PDF to Word?
Use OCR to Word. Scanned PDFs contain images of text, so the text must be recognised first.
Why is my Word document empty?
The PDF is probably a scan with no text layer. Run it through OCR to Word instead.
