About this tool
When you need to keep working on a PDF's text, opening it directly in Word is rarely enough. This converter reads the text embedded in the PDF and writes it into a fresh .docx file you can edit right away. It is a text extraction tool, not a full layout reconstructor, so treat the output as a clean starting point for editing rather than a pixel-perfect copy.
FAQ
No. The tool has no OCR, so image-only pages produce no extractable text.
Not exactly. Text is preserved in reading order, but layout, images and complex tables are not rebuilt.
Around 20 pages per conversion. Split longer PDFs into smaller files.
Not directly. Remove the password with a PDF editor first.
No. Extraction and .docx generation both run inside your browser on-device.

Limitations
