About PDF to Word

PDF to Word converts PDF documents into editable Microsoft Word files. The in-house EvixOffice engine extracts the underlying text, paragraphs, headings, lists, and table structures and rebuilds them in OOXML so Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice can open and edit them natively.

For text-layer PDFs (most office documents), the conversion preserves real selectable text. Scanned PDFs need OCR first — use the PDF OCR tool to add a text layer, then convert.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Download the .docx and edit in Word.

When to use it

  • Re-edit a PDF report when the original .docx is lost.
  • Update boilerplate in a client-supplied contract.
  • Pull text into a Word template for re-styling.

Privacy

Files are processed by the Evixpdf engine in-house with the AGPL-free MIT stack — no third-party cloud upload. Sessions auto-purge after processing.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions people most often ask about PDF to Word. Read the one that matches your situation — they're written to be skimmed.

1Will fonts and layout be preserved?
Text content, headings, paragraphs, and basic tables are preserved. Exact pixel-for-pixel layout often differs because Word re-flows text — that's the trade-off for editability.
2Does this work on scanned PDFs?
A scanned PDF has no text layer, so the output will be empty or image-only. Run PDF OCR first to add real text, then convert.
