PDF to Word

Turn positioned PDF text into a local DOCX with editable headings, paragraphs, lists, and confidently detected tables. Column-aware reading order, repeated-margin cleanup, page selection, and optional on-device OCR help produce a practical flowing document while clearly reporting fidelity limits.

Fidelity mode: Flowing DOCX prioritizes semantic paragraphs, headings, lists, and confident tables. It will not reproduce the PDF page design exactly.

How it works

  1. 1Open one PDF and optionally choose pages and column-aware reading order.
  2. 2PDF.js geometry is grouped into headings, paragraphs, lists, and high-confidence tables; scanned pages can use local OCR.
  3. 3Choose whether each source page starts on a new Word page and review the compatibility report.
  4. 4A validated DOCX Open XML package is built locally for download.

Frequently asked questions

▸Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?

No. This first mode prioritizes editable, flowing content. Precise coordinates, decorative vectors, embedded fonts, and complex image placement are omitted or approximated and disclosed before export.

▸Are tables editable?

High-confidence detected tables become native Word tables. Uncertain candidates remain prose so an incorrect grid is not silently invented.

▸Can it convert a scanned PDF?

Yes. Enable integrated OCR to recognize text-free pages on-device. OCR text and reading order should still be reviewed.
