PDF to Word reconstructs a PDF as an editable .docx, preserving paragraph structure, tables, and approximate formatting — so scanned or exported PDFs can be edited in Word instead of retyped.
| You want to… | Use this tool |
|---|---|
| Paragraphs and headings | Editable text with the structure kept |
| Tables | Native Word tables you can edit cell by cell |
| Scanned pages | Text recognized by OCR — check names and numbers |
| Multi-column layouts | Columns or text boxes, which may need light tidying |
| Fonts that aren't embedded | The closest available font is used instead |
Born-digital and scanned PDFs both work — scans go through OCR automatically.
