Editable Word or exact look: pick the mode that fits

Editable rebuilds the text as paragraphs. Larger text becomes headings, and each PDF page starts after a page break, so the document is easy to rework.

Exact look places every page into Word as a picture. It looks identical to the PDF but the text cannot be edited. Use it when the layout matters more than changing words.

What converts cleanly from PDF to DOCX

Text documents such as letters and reports convert best. Tables, columns and complex layouts come out as plain paragraphs, so expect to rebuild those by hand.

A scanned PDF has no text to pull out. Run it through OCR PDF first, then convert. For raw text only, PDF to Text is quicker.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a PDF to Word for free?

Drop the PDF on the tool, choose Editable and press convert. You download a .docx file with no signup and no watermark. The PDF to Word guide walks through both modes.

Can I convert PDF to DOCX and edit the text?

Yes. Editable mode turns the PDF text into Word paragraphs and headings you can change. Exact look mode is not editable.

Is it safe to convert PDF to Word online?
