    What actually changes

    PDF and DOCX are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    If the PDF has a text layer, the characters and their positions are read and rebuilt as Word paragraphs. If it is a scan with no text layer, OCR reads the page images instead. Either way the output is editable text rather than a picture.

    Worth knowing first

    PDF stores glyphs at coordinates, not paragraphs. Reconstructing the structure is always an inference, so multi-column layouts, tables and text boxes are where it goes wrong. Our engine tells you which route it took, text layer or OCR, and at what confidence, because OCR output needs proofreading and a text layer does not.

    Questions

    PDF to DOCX, answered

    Why does my converted document look different?

    The original layout was built from absolute glyph positions. Word rebuilds it from paragraphs and styles, and the two models do not map one to one.

    Will it work on a scanned PDF?

    Yes, through OCR. On our test scan that path measured 99.8 percent character accuracy and 100 percent word accuracy.

    Are form fields preserved?

    No. Interactive form fields, signatures and annotations are not carried into the Word file.
