How to use PDF to Word
- 1Choose a PDF. Enter its password if it’s protected.
- 2If some pages are scanned, decide whether to recognize their text with OCR.
- 3Select Convert to Word, then download the .docx file.
Good to know
- Paragraphs, headings, bold and italic text, font sizes, bullet lists, simple tables, two-column layouts and images are rebuilt from the PDF’s text positions. Text colours, vector drawings (charts, lines, shapes) and form fields aren’t converted.
- Each PDF page becomes a section with the same page size and margins. Complex layouts, such as magazines or forms, may need tidying in Word.
- Scanned pages have no text layer. With OCR, their text is recognized on your device; without it, they’re added as pictures.
- Fonts are matched by name where the PDF uses a common font; otherwise Arial, Times New Roman or Courier New is used.
