When to convert PDF to Word

Convert when you need to edit the wording, copy large sections, or reuse a document as a template. If you only need to read or print it, you can leave it as a PDF.

Step-by-step: PDF to Word

1. Open the PDF to Word tool and add your PDF.
2. Click Convert to extract the text into a document.
3. Preview the result to check the layout.
4. Download your editable Word file.

What about scanned PDFs?

If your PDF is a scan or photo, the text is really an image, so conversion will not pick it up directly. Run it through OCR PDF first to recognise the text, then convert to Word. For the cleanest output, always start from a text-based PDF.
