How to use this tool

  1. Choose PDFs. Native text is read first; recognize scanned or outlined pages in English or Spanish.
  2. Check the source preview, correct OCR errors and verify reading order, especially in columns.
  3. Select the pages you need and download editable DOCX. Page order, paragraphs and line breaks are retained as text.
  4. Open the document in Word or a compatible editor and check the result. Images, tables, columns and exact source styling are not reconstructed.

Questions and useful limits

Is this an editable Word document?

The download is a genuine DOCX containing editable text and basic paragraphs/page breaks, rather than page screenshots pasted into Word.

Will it preserve the exact PDF layout?

No. OCR and native extraction can lose reading order in complex layouts. Review the text before export. Source fonts, tables, columns, pictures and exact pagination are not reconstructed.

Does conversion upload my PDF?

No. PDF reading, OCR and DOCX packaging run in browser workers. Language assets are downloaded from Taskono when needed; document contents are not sent.
