About this tool
Convert the selectable text layer of PDF pages into editable Word paragraphs. Selected page boundaries are retained as page breaks, but fonts, images, table structure and visual positioning are not rebuilt. Complex columns can have a different reading order and should be reviewed after conversion.

Questions, answered
Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?
No. This is explicitly a text-only conversion. Use a layout-aware document conversion service when original typography, tables or image positioning must be reconstructed.
Can it convert a scanned PDF into editable text?
No. It does not include OCR. Image-only pages have no text layer to extract; a completely image-only selection is rejected.
Can I convert only a few pages?
Yes. Enter a page range such as 2-4,7 to select those pages; the extraction limit is 100 selected pages. Start with a small selection when checking a complex document.
Choose the right conversion for your document
This is useful when you need to edit the wording of a letter, report or set of notes and can rebuild formatting yourself. A PDF is arranged for display; its text layer does not reliably describe paragraphs, columns or tables. The Word output therefore preserves extracted words and selected-page boundaries, rather than promising the original design.
Check the result before using it
Try selecting a sentence in your PDF viewer first. If only an entire image can be selected, run OCR in a suitable application before returning here. For a two-column page, compare the first few paragraphs of the DOCX against the PDF. Check names, numbers, hyphenated words and table values manually. Keep the source PDF as your reference.
