Frequently Asked Questions
This tool focuses on extracting the readable content (text, headings, lists) into a clean editable structure, rather than trying to visually replicate the exact PDF layout — better for revising content than reproducing design.
Basic tables are preserved as editable Word tables where possible. For complex tables, use Extract PDF Tables instead. Images are carried over as embedded objects.
Only if the PDF already has a text layer. Scanned image-only PDFs need OCR first — use the PDF OCR tool to add a text layer before extracting.
Extraction prioritizes editable text over pixel-perfect layout. Complex multi-column designs may need manual reformatting once opened in Word.
No. All extraction runs locally in your browser — your PDF is never sent to a server.
