How to convert PDF to Word

  1. Choose a PDF that was made on a computer, so it contains real text.
  2. Press Convert to Word and open the .docx in Word, Google Docs or WPS.
What is kept?

The text, paragraphs, line order and larger headings. Pictures, tables, colours and exact layout are not copied, so expect to tidy the formatting.

It says no text was found

The PDF is probably a scan or photo, which has pictures of words rather than text. Scans need OCR (text recognition), which this tool doesn't do.
