Question 1

Is PDF to Word conversion safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely safe. All processing is done in your browser; the PDF file never leaves your device and is not uploaded to any server.

Question 2

What is the difference between 'Editable text' and 'Preserve layout'?

Accepted Answer

Editable text extracts text from PDF to generate an editable Word document, but the layout is simplified; Preserve layout renders each page as an image and embeds it whole in Word, fully restoring the layout, but text is images and cannot be edited or searched.

Question 3

Why was no text extracted after conversion?

Accepted Answer

If the PDF is a scan or image without a text layer, the editable text mode cannot extract content. In this case, use the 'preserve layout' mode to embed each page as an image.

Question 4

Will the layout of the converted Word document match the original PDF exactly?

Accepted Answer

The editable text mode focuses on text extraction, simplifying complex layouts like columns, tables, and precise positioning. For an exact appearance, use the 'preserve layout' mode.
