Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the PDF to Word conversion?

Text, images, and simple tables convert well. Complex multi-column layouts or heavily designed PDFs may need manual adjustments in Word.

Can I convert scanned PDFs to Word?

Yes. Scanned PDFs go through OCR first to extract text, then the text is placed into a .docx file. Run OCR separately first for best results.

What Word format is produced?

The output is a .docx file compatible with Microsoft Word 2007 and later, Google Docs, and LibreOffice Writer.
