How to convert a PDF to Word and edit its text

Need to rewrite a PDF in Word? Extract its text and tables into a .docx document, then review the formatting before editing.

Step by step

1. 1. Open PDF to Word

   Choose PDF to Word on PDF Feel and select your PDF. Conversion starts after the file is selected.

2. 2. Wait for text extraction

   The tool reads text and tables page by page. For scans it can attempt OCR; recognition depends on scan quality.

3. 3. Open the downloaded Word document

   Open the .docx in Word or a compatible editor. Check reading order, tables, spelling and page breaks.

4. 4. Choose direct PDF editing for small corrections

   If you only need to change a name or a date, Edit PDF may be more suitable than rebuilding the document in Word.

Frequently asked questions

Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?

No. Text and tables are extracted; tables can become Word tables, but images and the graphic page layout are not rebuilt. Expect to review and adjust the Word document.

Does it work on scans?

The tool can attempt OCR when no selectable text is found. If recognition fails, try the OCR tool or use a clearer scan. Check names and numbers carefully.

Is the PDF uploaded to convert it?

This conversion runs in your browser. Saving documents to the cloud is a separate optional action.
