Frequently asked questions

Are tables preserved?

Simple tables convert cleanly. Complex nested layouts may need light manual cleanup in Word.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs need OCR first; use the OCR PDF tool to make text selectable, then convert.

Which Word versions can open the output?

The DOCX output opens in Microsoft Word 2007 and later, LibreOffice, Google Docs, and Pages.

Are fonts embedded?

Standard fonts are mapped to their DOCX equivalents. Uncommon fonts fall back to the closest available typeface on the reader's system.

Will hyperlinks survive?

Yes. Text and image hyperlinks are preserved and remain clickable in Word.

Can I convert multiple PDFs at once?

Yes. Drop several PDFs and the tool converts them in sequence, giving you one DOCX per input.
