Best suited for

Reusing text from reports, or placing scanned pages into a Word document for annotation.

Input and output

Input: One PDF up to 50 MB and 100 selected pages; an opening password can be supplied locally.

Output: A .docx file containing editable paragraphs or page-sized images, depending on your chosen mode.

Known limitation

Text mode approximates indents, font sizes, and line spacing but does not reconstruct tables, columns, or embedded pictures. Image-only pages are included as pictures and are not editable. OCR is not included. Appearance mode preserves pixels, not editable layout.

Practical tips

  • Use editable text for PDFs with selectable text; choose appearance for scans or complex layouts.
  • Check reading order and special characters in Word, especially when the source has several columns.
