  • Copy tables from a PDF report into Word to rework them.

What to expect from the Word file

PDF and Word store documents very differently: a PDF fixes every letter to a position on the page, while Word flows text into paragraphs. PDFConvertFast rebuilds the text as editable paragraphs, headings and tables. Fonts, colours, images and the exact page layout are not copied, so the document will look simpler than the PDF – but you can edit everything.

Scanned PDFs are images of text. They need OCR (text recognition) first, which PDFConvertFast does not offer yet.

About PDF and Word files

PDF (Portable Document Format)
PDF files look the same on every device and are the standard for invoices, statements, contracts and reports. Digital PDFs store real text; scanned PDFs store images of pages. All PDF tools →
Word (DOCX)
DOCX is the Microsoft Word document format. Text flows freely into paragraphs, so it is easy to edit, and it opens in Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages.
