## Options

Convert all pages or a typed page range.

Preserve paragraphs as editable Word text.

Promote basic headings where the PDF text exposes larger lines.

Build simple Word tables from clearly separated text columns when feasible.

Images are not included in this text-first local version.

## How to use PDF to Word

1. **Upload PDF** — Upload a text-based PDF and unlock it locally if the file requires a password.
2. **Preview text** — Review the selectable text preview to confirm the PDF has extractable text.
3. **Choose options** — Choose all pages or type a range, then keep paragraph, heading, and simple-table cleanup as needed.
4. **Convert and download** — Select Convert to Word and download the editable DOCX.

## FAQ

### Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. PDF.js extracts text in a browser worker and the DOCX is packaged locally.

### Will it match the PDF layout exactly?

No. This is best-effort editable text conversion, not exact desktop-publishing reconstruction.

### What about scanned PDFs?

Use OCR PDF first. This tool needs selectable text to create editable Word content.
