Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the conversion?

Text-based PDFs convert with high fidelity. Scanned PDFs require OCR — use our Scan PDF (OCR) tool first.

Are tables preserved?

Yes. Detected tables are reconstructed as native Word tables in the .docx output.

What about PDFs with images?

Images are embedded in the Word document at their original position and resolution.

Does it work with protected PDFs?

Unlock the PDF first using our Unlock PDF tool, then convert to Word.

Can I convert multi-column layouts?

Yes. Multi-column layouts are converted using Word's column feature where detected.
