Questions
Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?
Not exactly. A PDF describes a fixed page and Word describes a flowing document, so complex layouts, columns and precise positioning will shift. The text comes across intact.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?
Not directly — a scan holds pictures, not text. Run OCR first to recognise the words, then convert.
Do I need to sign up?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so there is no account and no upload.
