What you get
Complex layouts - multiple columns, text boxes and exact fonts - are simplified into clean, editable text. For tables, PDF to Excel keeps rows and columns far better.
- Paragraphs joined back together (no broken lines).
- Headings detected from larger text.
- One Word page break per PDF page.
- Hyphenated words at line ends rejoined.
Scanned PDFs
A scan has no text inside. Use PDF to Text (with OCR) first, then paste the text into Word.
Questions
Will it look exactly like the PDF?
The text and structure are kept; the exact design is not. That is what makes the document easy to edit.
Is it free and private?
Yes - unlimited, no sign-up, and the conversion happens in your browser.
