Need to edit a PDF but can't? PDFs are great for viewing, but editing them is a nightmare. Converting to Word gives you full editing power—change text, update tables, modify layouts, add or remove sections. Everything becomes editable.
Our converter extracts text, preserves formatting, and maintains your document structure. Tables stay as tables, headings remain headings, and paragraphs keep their spacing. You get a Word file that looks like your PDF but is fully editable.
When You Need This Conversion
Maybe you received a PDF contract that needs updates, but the original Word file is long gone. Or you have a PDF report with outdated numbers that need refreshing. Perhaps you want to reuse content from a PDF in a new document without retyping everything.
Converting to Word lets you make these changes quickly. No more printing, scanning, or retyping. Just convert, edit, and you're done.
DOCX vs DOC: Which Should You Choose?
DOCX is the modern standard. It's what Microsoft Word has used since 2007, and it's supported by Google Docs, LibreOffice, and most modern word processors. Files are smaller, more reliable, and less prone to corruption.
DOC is the older format, mainly needed if you're working with very old versions of Word (2003 or earlier) or legacy systems. For 99% of users, DOCX is the better choice.

What Works Best (And What Doesn't)
Text-based PDFs convert beautifully. Documents created from Word, Google Docs, or other word processors usually convert with near-perfect formatting. Tables, lists, and basic layouts transfer well.
Scanned PDFs (image-based) are trickier. They need OCR first to extract text. Complex layouts with multiple columns, unusual fonts, or intricate designs might need some manual cleanup after conversion. But for most standard documents, the conversion is excellent.
Common Conversion Questions
Will tables convert correctly?
Most tables convert well, especially if they were created in a word processor originally. Complex tables with merged cells or unusual formatting might need minor adjustments in Word, but the structure is preserved.
What about images in the PDF?
Images are embedded in the Word document and should appear in the same positions. High-resolution images might increase the Word file size, but they'll be there and editable.
Can I convert password-protected PDFs?
Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first. Use our unlock PDF tool to remove the password, then convert to Word.
How accurate is the conversion?
For text-based PDFs, accuracy is very high—usually 95% or better. You might need to fix a few formatting quirks, but the content transfers accurately. Scanned PDFs require OCR first for text extraction.
