Convert PDF to Word online. Get an editable .docx with paragraphs, headings, tables, columns and images rebuilt to match the original layout — including scanned PDFs, which are read with OCR.
Converted with the engine behind Acrobat
Conversion runs on Adobe PDF Services — the same technology as Adobe Acrobat — so fonts, tables, images and layout come through as faithfully as current technology allows.
Editable, not a picture of the page
Text comes out as real paragraphs you can type into, tables as real Word tables, and columns and headings are rebuilt so the layout holds while you edit. Scanned PDFs are read with OCR so their text becomes editable too.

Frequently asked questions
Will the layout break?
The layout is rebuilt to match the original as closely as possible. Most business documents come out ready to edit; highly designed layouts may need minor adjustments.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned pages are read with OCR, so the text becomes editable.
Is my file kept?
No. It is converted by Adobe PDF Services, which deletes it straight after, and our copy is deleted automatically within an hour.
