PDF to Word

Pick the pages and get a Word file that looks like the PDF and edits like a document: every block of text at its place on the page in the size, weight, slant and colour the PDF used, the rules, boxes, logos and pictures behind it - an invoice, a form or a flyer opens in Word as it looked. Or have the text reflowed into plain paragraphs for a document you will rewrite. Everything runs in your browser; the file never leaves your device.

The page as it looks, every word still text - or the text reflowed into paragraphs for editing.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Word file look like?

With the layout kept (the default), like the PDF: every block of text sits where it was, in the font size, weight, slant and colour the PDF used, and the page's rules, boxes, logos and pictures are behind it as one picture per page - so an invoice or a form opens in Word as it looked, and every word is still text you can edit. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

What are Paragraphs and Lines for?

For text you will rewrite. Paragraphs reflows the content into a plain document - paragraphs, headings where a line stands out, pictures between them - that repaginates as you type; Lines keeps every line on its own row. Neither keeps the page's look; the layout mode does.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Only with a text layer. A scan that has been through the OCR tool converts like any other file; a scan without one has no text to give - the file list says so and points at OCR.

Which fonts does it use?

The PDF's own fonts are not copied into the document (they usually aren't licensed for that). Each run keeps its size, bold and italic, and gets the Word font of the same name where there is one - Times New Roman, Arial, Calibri, Courier New and the like - or a standard family of the same kind otherwise, so Word opens it on any computer.
