Frequently Asked Questions

Does this preserve the original formatting, like fonts, images, and columns?

No — this tool extracts the PDF's text and reconstructs paragraph breaks using the spacing between lines, then places that text into a real .docx file. It does not preserve fonts, colors, images, tables, or multi-column layouts, since PDFs don't store text in an editable-document structure the way Word does.

Why did I get "No selectable text found"?

This tool reads a PDF's underlying text layer, which only exists if the PDF was generated digitally (from a word processor, website, or similar). A scanned document is just a picture of text with no text layer at all, so there's nothing to extract — use the PDF OCR tool instead for scanned pages.

How does it decide where one paragraph ends and the next begins?

It measures the vertical spacing between consecutive lines of text. Lines spaced like normal single-spaced text within a paragraph are joined together, while a noticeably larger gap (like the blank space before a new paragraph) starts a new one. Unusual layouts or inconsistent spacing can occasionally cause a paragraph break in the wrong place.

Is the output really an editable Word document, or just a renamed text file?

It's a genuine .docx file built using the same Office Open XML format Microsoft Word itself uses, generated entirely in your browser — not a text file with a different extension. It opens directly in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, or any other app that reads .docx files, and the text is fully editable.
