About PDF to Word
PDF to Word is the most-searched PDF tool on the planet, and the hardest to do well. We use LibreOffice's PDF importer to parse layout, fonts and images into a clean .docx you can edit in Word, Google Docs, or any other editor.
Born-digital PDFs convert near-perfectly. Scanned PDFs convert the layout but no text — run them through OCR PDF first to make the text editable too.

PDF to Word — frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know.
How accurate is the conversion?
Very accurate for born-digital PDFs (the kind you get from exporting Word to PDF). Less so for complex multi-column magazine layouts — preserve the gist but expect some manual cleanup.
My PDF is a scan — will the text be editable?
Run OCR PDF first to add a text layer. Then PDF to Word will produce an editable .docx.
Will tables come through correctly?
Yes for normal tables. Heavily merged-cell tables may need minor cleanup in Word.
Are images preserved?
Yes — images are extracted from the PDF and re-embedded in the .docx at their original resolution.
What about fonts that aren't installed on my computer?
Word will substitute its closest match when you open the .docx. To avoid surprises, share the .docx with embedded fonts (File -> Options -> Save in Word).
