The text of each page is read with its position, size and weight, then rebuilt as a Word file: lines are joined into paragraphs that reflow, large type becomes headings, bold and italics are kept and centered lines stay centered.
What you get is a document made for editing, not a pixel-perfect copy. Pictures, columns and tables are not reconstructed; side-by-side text is separated by tabs.
How to use the PDF to Word tool
- Add the PDF.
- Choose whether lines should be joined into paragraphs and whether page breaks are kept.
- Download the .docx file and open it in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.
Popular uses
- Reusing the text of a report or a contract
- Updating a document when the original Word file is lost
- Quoting long passages without copy-and-paste errors
Tips for the best result
- If paragraphs are joined wrongly, convert again with joining switched off.
- For a scan, run OCR PDF first; a scan contains no text to convert.
