How it works
- Choose a PDF.
- Decide what to do with scanned pages.
- Convert, then download the Word file.
Works best on PDFs made from Word or other documents. Tables, columns and complex layouts are not rebuilt, and pictures inside a page are left out. Pages with no text (scans) can be kept as a picture, or use Extract text (OCR) to read them. Password-protected PDFs can’t be converted.
When to use it
- Edit the text of a PDF in Word when you no longer have the original file.
- Reuse paragraphs, headings and bullet lists from a PDF report.
- Turn a PDF made from a Word document back into an editable Word file.
