Please note

  • Each block of text is placed in a text box in its original position, so the page looks like the original. When a long passage is rewritten, the text does not flow on to the next page.
  • Text in scanned pages (images) cannot be converted into editable text. Scanned pages remain images.
  • If the PDF has an open password, please remove the password before converting.

Common questions

Will the layout change?
Text and images keep their positions, so the layout usually stays the same. If the PDF uses a font that is not installed on your computer, Word shows a similar font, and the text width may differ slightly.
Why can a scanned PDF not be edited?
Each page of a scanned PDF is an image with no text in it. This tool does not recognise text (OCR), so the pages remain images.
Is my file kept on the server?
No. The file is used only for this conversion and is deleted as soon as the result is returned to your browser. If a conversion is interrupted, any remaining file is deleted within 1 hour. A conversion that takes more than 90 seconds is stopped.
