What is PDF?

Portable Document Format

PDF is a file format developed by Adobe that preserves document formatting across different platforms and devices. It uses PostScript language and can contain text, images, vector graphics, and interactive elements. PDFs maintain consistent appearance regardless of the software, hardware, or operating system used to view them.

  • Platform-independent document format
  • Preserves fonts, images, and layout
  • Supports encryption and digital signatures
  • Can be compressed to reduce file size
  • Widely supported across all devices

What is DOCX?

Microsoft Word Document

DOCX is the default file format for Microsoft Word documents since 2007. It's based on Office Open XML (OOXML) standard and uses ZIP compression to store XML files and resources. This format supports rich text formatting, images, tables, and advanced features like track changes and comments.

  • XML-based document structure
  • Supports rich text formatting
  • Includes styles and templates
  • Compressed file format (smaller than DOC)
  • Compatible with Microsoft Office and alternatives

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the formatting stay intact when converting PDF to DOCX?

Mostly yes for text-based PDFs. Text, fonts, headings, and basic formatting are preserved well. Complex layouts (multi-column, text boxes, images) may need minor adjustments. Note: Scanned PDFs (images) require OCR and results are limited.

Can I edit a scanned PDF after converting to DOCX?

Limited. Scanned PDFs are essentially images and require OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract text. Basic OCR is available, but results may vary. For best results, use text-based PDFs rather than scanned documents.

Why is my converted DOCX different from the original PDF?

PDFs are fixed-layout documents, while DOCX is flow-based. Elements like headers, footers, page breaks, and text boxes may shift. For best results, use PDFs created from Word (not scanned documents).

Can I convert password-protected PDFs to DOCX?

Only if you have the password. Upload the PDF, enter the password when prompted, and we'll decrypt and convert it. We cannot bypass password protection (that would be illegal).

What happens to images and tables in the PDF?

Images are extracted and embedded in the DOCX. Tables are converted to Word tables. Simple tables work perfectly. Complex tables with merged cells or nested structures may need manual adjustment.
