A practical guide

PDF in, DOCX out.

Choose one PDF with selectable text, up to 100 pages.
Convert it; headings, paragraphs and page breaks are rebuilt from the text layer.
Open the DOCX in Word, Pages or Google Docs and check it before editing.

Try this example

Convert the six-page sample: the DOCX has six headings, the body text and a page break between pages.

Before

Report.pdf

After

Report.docx with headings and paragraphs

Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Before you start: Scanned pages need Searchable PDF first. Tables, columns and exact positions become plain paragraphs; check the layout before sharing.

Extract plain text instead

Questions and answers

How do I convert a PDF to an editable Word file?: Add one PDF with selectable text and convert it. Headings, paragraphs and page breaks are rebuilt from the text layer. Open the DOCX and read through it before you start editing.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?: Not directly. A scanned page has no text layer yet, so it must be made searchable first.
Will tables and columns stay as they were?: No. The layout is rebuilt as headings and paragraphs, so tables, columns and exact positions are not preserved. Check the layout before you share the file.
Which programs can edit the result?: The result is a DOCX file, so you can edit it in Word, Pages or Google Docs.
Is my PDF uploaded?: No. The file stays on your device and is processed in your browser.

If it did not work

The DOCX has little or no text: The PDF is probably a scan. Run it through Searchable PDF, then convert the result.
It says the file is refused: The limit is 10 MB and 100 pages. Split the PDF with Split PDF and convert each part.
A table became plain paragraphs: If you only need the numbers, try PDF to Excel or PDF to CSV.
Text is in the wrong place: Rebuild the layout in your editor, or extract plain text with PDF to Text.
The DOCX looks different from the PDF: The page is rebuilt from text. Use the DOCX for editing the words, and keep the original PDF as the version you send.
