Frequently Asked Questions
Will my PDF’s original formatting carry over to the Word file?
Only partially — this tool extracts the text content page by page into editable paragraphs. Fonts, headings, columns and tables are not preserved as styled formatting, so complex layouts will need manual cleanup in Word afterward.
Are images and graphics inside the PDF included in the Word file?
No — this tool extracts text only. Embedded images and graphics are not pulled into the output document.
Can I convert a scanned, image-only PDF this way?
No — this tool reads existing digital text layers. For scanned documents with no selectable text, run them through OCR PDF first to create searchable text.
Does it work on multi-column layouts?
Multi-column text is extracted in the PDF's underlying reading order, which can interleave columns rather than keeping them visually separate — best results come from single-column documents.
Is my original PDF changed during conversion?
No — your PDF stays exactly as it was; the tool produces a brand-new, separate .docx file.
