How to convert PDF to Word

Upload a PDF, convert it and check the text and layout in Word.

Step by step

  1. Open a PDF with selectable text in PDF to Word. A scanned page needs text recognition before a text-based conversion can work.
  2. Convert the document and download the DOCX file.
  3. Open the DOCX in Word or a compatible editor. Compare it with the PDF, then fix paragraph breaks, headings and tables before continuing your edits.

Before you share the result

Open the DOCX in Word and check headings, paragraphs, dates and page breaks against the PDF.
