Convert PDF to Editable Word Document

Frequently asked questions

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

Only PDFs that contain a text layer (i.e. born-digital PDFs) can be converted. Scanned PDFs without a text layer need OCR first - use Ask PDF to make it searchable, then convert.

Are images from the PDF included in the Word document?

The current converter focuses on text extraction. Embedded images are not carried over to the DOCX output.
