Convert PDF Documents to Editable Word DOCX
PDF (Portable Document Format) is designed for consistent viewing across devices, but editing PDF content directly is difficult. Our PDF to DOC converter extracts text content from your PDF and creates a fully editable Word DOCX document — headings, paragraphs with bold/italic formatting, tables with header rows, and bulleted/numbered lists are all preserved as proper Word elements you can edit.
Simply upload your PDF, choose your page range, and click convert. The tool uses pdf.js to extract text with font metadata (size, weight, style), detects tables via column-gap analysis, identifies lists from bullet/number patterns, and sends structured content to the server where PhpWord generates an editable Word document.
How to Convert PDF to Word
Upload Your PDF
Click the upload area or drag and drop your PDF file. The tool accepts PDF files up to 50MB. Your PDF is previewed directly in the browser via an embedded viewer.
Configure Options
Select which pages to convert — all pages or a custom range like "1-5, 8, 10-12". The tool will render only the pages you select.
Download Your DOCX
Click "Convert to DOCX" and watch the progress. Text is extracted with formatting metadata, structured into headings, paragraphs, tables, and lists, then sent to the server where PhpWord builds an editable DOCX. Preview the extracted content and download with a single click.
Powerful Conversion Features
Fully Editable Output
Text is extracted and converted into proper Word elements — headings, paragraphs, tables, and lists — all fully editable in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
Formatting Preserved
Bold, italic, and font sizes are detected from the PDF and applied to each text segment. Headings are identified by font size and weight.
Table Detection
Multi-column layouts are analyzed using column-gap heuristics to detect tables with header row styling, borders, and cell content.
List Recognition
Bullet characters and numbering patterns are detected and converted to proper Word bulleted or numbered lists.
Page Selection
Convert all pages or specify a custom range. Use formats like "1-5, 8, 10-12" to select exactly the pages you need.
Content Preview
Preview the extracted content (headings, paragraphs, tables, lists) in the right panel before downloading. Verify the structure matches your expectations.

Best with Text-Based PDFs
This tool extracts text content from PDFs. It works best with digitally-created PDFs (not scanned images). Scanned PDFs with no embedded text will produce empty output.
Custom Page Ranges
For large PDFs, use custom page ranges to convert only the sections you need. This speeds up extraction and produces a smaller output document.
Preview Before Download
The right panel shows the extracted content with formatting — headings, bold/italic text, tables, and lists. Check this preview to verify accuracy before downloading.
Table Detection
Tables are detected by analyzing gaps between text columns. For best results, ensure your PDF tables have clear column separation. Very tight or overlapping columns may not be detected correctly.
Formatting Accuracy
Bold and italic are detected from font names (e.g. "TimesNewRoman-Bold"). Headings are identified by font size thresholds. Complex formatting like colors, underlining, or custom fonts may not transfer perfectly.
