How to Convert PDF to Editable Word Document for Free

PDFs are great for sharing, but terrible for editing. If you need to fix a typo or rewrite a paragraph in a PDF contract, you have two choices:

1. Retype the whole thing (Painful)
2. Convert it to Word (Smart)

Here is how to turn any PDF into an editable DOCX file.

Method: Online PDF to Word Converter

Using Percime Tools, you can extract text and layout from a PDF and reconstruct a Word document.

Steps:

1. Go to PDF to Word
2. Upload your PDF
3. Wait for the conversion (we analyze text blocks)
4. Download the .docx file
5. Open in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice

Does it Preserve Formatting?

Good converters (like ours) try to keep:

• Paragraphs: Kept as massive text blocks
• Bold/Italic: Styles are preserved
• Tables: Converted to Word tables (usually)
• Images: Placed in correct positions

Improving Conversion Quality

To get the best result:

• Ensure the PDF is text-based: If you can select text with your mouse in the PDF, conversion will be perfect.
• Scanned PDFs: If the PDF is just an image (scan), you need OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
• Simple Layouts: Complex newsletters with columns convert harder than contracts.

Common Uses

• Resumes: Update an old PDF resume
• Contracts: Redline changes in Word
• Forms: Fill them out comfortably

Don't waste time retyping. Convert to Word now.
