PDF to Word

A 12-page report arrives as a PDF, but you need to fix three typos. Retyping is slow. Copying from a PDF often breaks line endings and tables.

Best for text-heavy documents

This tool extracts text from each page and writes it into a Word document. It works best on PDFs created from word processors. Scanned paper pages will produce little or no text.

Download the DOCX, edit it, and convert back to PDF if needed.

Formatting will need a quick cleanup

Columns, headers and complex layouts may not survive perfectly. Plan to spend a minute aligning headings and paragraph spacing.

Check special characters by hand

Math symbols, ligatures and non-English characters may convert to question marks. Review those spots before sharing the document.
