How to convert PDF to Word

Convert PDF to Word
Turn a PDF into a Word document you can edit: text, headings, lists, pictures and tables, ready for Word, Google Docs or WPS.
Edit a PDF you only have as PDF
The original Word file is often lost: a resume you made years ago, a form a college sent, an old report or a rent agreement. Converting rebuilds it as a normal Word document, so you can change a date, fix a line or reuse the text without retyping it.
What comes across
Paragraphs flow as editable text, with their fonts, sizes, bold and italic. Headings, bullet and numbered lists, pictures and simple tables are kept, and each PDF page starts on a new page in Word. Complicated layouts (magazine columns, text over pictures, forms with many boxes) come out close but may need a little tidying.
Scanned PDFs
A scan is a picture of a page, with no text inside it to extract. The Word file then holds the page pictures, and the result tells you so. To get editable text from a scan, run OCR PDF first, then convert the result here.
On your phone
Pick the PDF from Files or WhatsApp downloads, press Convert to Word and open the DOCX in Word, Google Docs or WPS Office. Edit it there, then save it back to PDF with Word to PDF if a portal wants a PDF.
Use cases

Questions
Is PDF to Word free?
Yes, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?
Text documents such as letters, resumes and reports come out very close. Designs with overlapping text and pictures may need small fixes.
Can it convert a scanned PDF?
It converts it, but the pages stay pictures. Use OCR PDF first to turn the scan into text.
Does it work with Hindi and Tamil PDFs?
Yes for PDFs made from Unicode text, such as ones exported from Word or Google Docs. Older PDFs typed in legacy fonts such as Kruti Dev usually come out as jumbled English letters, because the PDF never held real Hindi text; OCR PDF with Hindi can recover those.
Is there a page limit?
Up to 100 pages per PDF. For longer files, delete the pages you don't need first.
What about password-protected PDFs?
Remove the password with Unlock PDF, then convert.
