Know the boundary

What this tool does—and what it does not.

Editable conversion is best-effort. Complex layouts, vector graphics, unusual fonts, and borderless tables may shift. Scans need OCR first.

PDF to Word FAQ

Before you start.

Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?

Not always. Editable mode prioritizes editable content; layout-fidelity mode preserves the page appearance as an image but the text is not editable.

Can scanned PDFs be converted?

Run OCR first to create a text layer, or use layout-fidelity mode for page images.

Does conversion happen online?

It happens in the browser, but the file itself is not uploaded for conversion.

What is the output format?

PDFbuff exports an Office Open XML .docx document.
