Our first test PDF file (EULA) exported without issue and very close to the original PDF format, the company logo and other details were converted to the non-editable header and footer (image) of the Word document. the conversion ofsecond PDFit was much worse: text and numbers were converted correctly, but table formatting was truncated as inAdobe Acrobat conversion.
restrictions: 5 PDF to DOC conversions per month. Since conversions are tied to one email, an easy way to get another five is to provide an alternate email address. Sign up for a free account and get 5 more free PDF to Word conversions and the option to connect Nitro Cloud to online storage like Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive, sign and share your PDFs. The file limit is 50 pages and less than 5 MB.

Convert a scanned PDF file to an editable Word document
If your PDF file is the result of scanning a printed document, special OCR software is needed to recognize the text and convert it to Word.
As you probably know, OCR stands foroptical character recognition,This technology electronically identifies each character in a scanned document and converts it into an editable format. You can use OCR programs to not only convert a scanned PDF, but also any other image file created by a device that takes a snapshot of the document and saves that image as an electronic file.
The quality of an output Word document depends on 2 factors:
- The quality of your OCR software
- The quality of the original PDF file (clarity of all characters, foreign language or special characters used in the text, different fonts, colors and formats, etc.)
There are many tools dedicated to optical character recognition, most of which are paid. In addition to specialized software, the OCR option is available in some PFD converters such asAdobe Acrobat Proas shown above. If Adobe Acrobat is not part of your toolbox, you can try online OCR services.
Convert PDF to Word - Free Online Converter with OCR Option
Convertidor PDF a Wordis a very simple online converter that outputs the file as a text file (.txt) or a Word 2003 document (.doc). After selecting the OCR option, the list of available formats will expand to include .docx, .rtf, .html, and a few others.
restrictions: There doesn't seem to be an obvious file size limit, but the page limit for free OCR conversions is very restrictive: only 2 pages per document. Another limitation is that only the English language is recognized.
OnlineOCR - universal online OCR service
OOCR onlineis a universal online optical character recognition service that extracts text from PDF, GIM, JPG, BMP, TIFF, and many other image formats and converts it into an editable Word document (.docx) or plain text (.txt) ). It supports 46 languages, including English, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and many others.
restrictions: The maximum file size allowed is 5 MB.
In conclusion, I would say that no desktop software or online service really excels at exporting any PDF file to Word. Even industry leaders like Adobe or Nitro aren't always perfect. To get the best conversion accuracy with a given PDF document, you'll probably have to try several services and then pick the winner.
I hope this article has helped point you in the right direction. If you know of other PDF to Word conversion methods or online services that offer better results, please share them in the comments. And thanks for reading!
