How to Convert Pdf to Word

2 min read

There are several easy ways to convert PDF files to Word, both using software and online.
Here are some options:

Using software:

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro: This is the best way if you need an accurate conversion and want to retain the original formatting of the PDF file.
    However, Adobe Acrobat Pro is a paid software.

    • Open Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    • Select “File” > “Open” to open the PDF file you want to convert.
    • Select “File” > “Save As” and select the format “Microsoft Word” (.docx).
    • Name the new file and select a storage location.
  • Microsoft Word (latest version): The latest version of Microsoft Word can open PDF files directly, although the results may not always be perfect, especially for complex documents.

    • Open Microsoft Word.
    • Select “File” > “Open” and select the PDF file you want to convert.
    • Once the PDF file opens, Word will give a warning that it will convert the file.
      Click “OK.”
    • You can then edit and save the file in .docx format.

Using free online services:

  • Smallpdf: A free and easy-to-use online service.

    • Go to https://smallpdf.com/pdf-to-word.
    • Drag and drop your PDF files to the box or click “Select files”.
    • Wait for the conversion to complete and download your Word file.
  • ilovepdf: A free online service with additional features such as batch conversion and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for scanned documents.

    • Go to https://www.ilovepdf.com/pdf_to_word.
    • Select “Select PDF file” and upload your file.
    • Select a conversion option (with or without OCR).
    • Click “Convert PDF” and download your Word file.
  • Adobe Acrobat Online: A free online service from Adobe, but has file size limitations.

Tips:

  • If your PDF file contains images or tables, the results may not be perfect in Word format.
    You may need to make manual adjustments after conversion.
  • For best results, use paid software like Adobe Acrobat Pro.
  • If you don’t have access to paid software, free online services are a good option, but be mindful of file size limitations and features offered.

Hope this helps!
