PDF to DOCX
PDF is convenient for distribution but poorly suited to editing. Converting to DOCX opens text, tables and paragraphs in Word or Google Docs. Quality depends on the source structure: simple documents transfer accurately, while complex layouts may need manual fixes.

More about PDF to DOCX
Why convert PDF to DOCX
PDF fixes the document’s appearance, which makes it hard to edit. DOCX lets you change text, add sections and restructure tables. The conversion is useful if you need to:
- edit a contract or an instruction;
- move PDF content into Word;
- update an old document;
- prepare text for translation or proofreading.
How it works
The server runs pdf2docx: the library analyses pages, extracts text, images and tables, then builds a DOCX. Simple documents transfer accurately. Complex layouts, multi-column designs and non-standard fonts may need manual work.
Limitations and quality
The maximum size is 25 MB. Scanned PDFs without a text layer are not recognised. Formulas and vector graphics may become images. Always check the result before sending an important document.
Questions and answers
Will the document be fully editable?
Text and basic structure usually become editable. Complex elements such as multi-layer tables, formulas and non-standard fonts may not transfer accurately.
Are images from the PDF preserved?
Yes, embedded images are usually transferred to DOCX. Their position and size may differ, especially in documents with complex layouts.
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
A scanned document without a text layer is not recognised well: pdf2docx does not perform OCR. You need a separate text-recognition tool.
Is the file uploaded to a server?
Yes, documents are processed on the server with the pdf2docx library. The file is deleted after download or within an hour.
