Convert a PDF to DOCX for further work in a word processor. The two modes serve different purposes: editing the content or keeping the visible page layout.

Editable Word for changes to the text

Editable Word turns readable PDF text into Word content. It reconstructs reading order, columns and supported tables so you can change the wording and formatting.

Scan-only pages use text recognition. If no readable text can be recovered from a page, it is kept as an image rather than left out. Check recognised words, especially names, numbers and faint print.

PDF to Word: The Northfield garden letter is selected for conversion to Word. — The one-page garden letter is open in the PDF-to-Word tool.

Keep page appearance for a visual copy

Keep page appearance places an image of each PDF page into a matching Word section. Use it for a certificate, brochure or form when the layout matters more than changing the text.

The text inside those page images does not become editable Word paragraphs. Choose Editable Word if the next step is rewriting a letter or updating a report.

PDF to Word: Conversion settings for the garden letter are shown. — The Word conversion settings are visible before the letter is converted.

Try a representative page first

A simple letter is easier to convert than a magazine page with overlapping images and text. Extract a representative page from a long document and try the mode you intend to use before converting the whole file.

Open the DOCX in your word processor and compare reading order, headings, lists, tables, pictures and page breaks with the PDF. Some complex pages may need manual adjustment.

PDF to Word: The converted garden letter is ready as a Word download. — The letter's Word file is ready to save.

Convert up to 120 pages at a time

One job accepts up to 120 pages. Conversion and any OCR run in this browser; the source PDF is not uploaded to a processing server. Keep it beside the DOCX until you have checked the result.

Questions

Which Word mode should I choose?

Choose Editable Word to change the wording. Choose Keep page appearance when the PDF’s layout matters more than editable text.

What remains editable in Word?

Editable Word reconstructs text, reading order, columns and supported tables as Word content. Check the result in your word processor before revising it.

How does Keep page appearance work?

It places a rendered image of each PDF page in a matching Word section. The page appearance is retained, but its contents are not freely editable.

How are scanned PDFs converted?

Scan-only pages use OCR in this browser. Review recognised text in Word, especially when the source is faint, handwritten or unusually arranged.
