What is the PDF to Word tool?

The PDF to Word tool changes your static PDF files back into editable Microsoft Word documents. Sometimes you receive a finalized report or a contract as a PDF, but you need to make changes to the text or layout.

This tool extracts the text and converts the document format so you can type, edit, and reorganize content inside Word. It handles the formatting heavy lifting for you so that your document looks just right.
