How it works

How to convert PDF to DOC

01
Drop one or more PDFs into the upload area, or click to browse.
02
Choose Convert to editable Word 97-2003 for digital PDFs, or Convert with OCR for scans.
03
Click Convert to Word 97-2003.
04
Download your .doc file, or a ZIP if you converted several PDFs.

Some job portals, older systems and older PCs accept nothing but .doc. This gives you exactly that format, with text you can edit.

Choose Convert with OCR for a scanned or photographed page, and the recognized words go into the .doc as editable text.

Convert PDFs of up to 200 pages in one go. For longer documents, use Split PDF first and convert each part.

Questions

Should I choose DOC or DOCX?

Choose DOCX (PDF to Word) for Word 2007 or later. Choose DOC only if you or the person you are sending it to uses an older version of Word.

Does a .doc keep everything a .docx would?

.doc is an older format, so some newer effects are simplified when the file is saved. Text, fonts, tables and images come through well.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

Yes. Choose Convert with OCR and the scanned text is recognized first, so the .doc holds words you can edit in any version of Word.

How long does it take to convert PDF to DOC?

Usually just a few seconds. Very large files can take a little longer.

Is PDF to DOC free?

Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks added to your files.
