Frequently asked questions
Will the layout be exactly the same?
Simple documents convert closely. Complex multi-column layouts and heavy graphics may need small adjustments, because Word and PDF lay text out differently.
Does it work on a scanned PDF?
A scan is an image, so run OCR first to recognise the text — then convert the searchable PDF to Word.
Is it free?
Yes, within a daily free limit and with no account. Pro removes the limit.
