INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Best PDF to Word converterPDFs are mostly designed for sharing, but sometimes, just occasionally, you may want to grab some or all of the
content for use elsewhere
By, say, converting the document into a DOCX file which you can open in Microsoft Word, or any other editor which supports the format
But try that with anything complex and you'll probably notice some major issues, like missing content, text which reflows in very different
directions, and a final document which might not look anything like the original
Several of the apps in our lists of top PDF readers and PDF editors include conversion tools which might deliver what you need
conversions, watermarking, rotation, merging, splitting, compression and more
import them directly from Google Drive and Dropbox, too
right file, and as a check that the conversion was going to deliver the results that we needed
While most converters just have a single download button or link, this time we could save the document back to Google Drive or Dropbox, and
even create a custom link for downloading the file
If you're running the conversion for someone else, email them the link and they can download it themselves
All our test file content was transferred and there were no obvious errors or issues
Open the exported document in Word and you'd be ready to work with it immediately
one hour and can be used a maximum of five times - but these can be increased.Just handing over your email address gets support for 15MB
files, 2 hours of link life and 10 downloads
The commercial Premium plan supports 40MB files and up to 200 downloads of the converted document over a 24-hour period, all for 3.99 Euros
step in evaluating any PDF conversion service is to check who is providing the underlying technology
Clicking the About Us link on the SimplyPDF website reveals that the site is powered by the excellent Solid Documents, the veteran developer
who is also behind iLovePDF, which immediately tells us the service is likely to deliver great results
For example, although the page will convert from PDF to DOCX files by default, it can also import Excel and PowerPoint documents and export
By default, for instance, SimplyPDF will try to detect lists, tables, headers and footers in the source PDF and convert them to those
objects in the Word document.If your document includes images with what looks like text, it uses OCR to try and extract this
These defaults normally work very well, but if they fail and the exported document isn't quite as you expect, adjusting SimplyPDF's
conversion settings will often help you fix the problem
But if you regularly work with complex documents, or you've had previous problems with the accuracy of PDF converters, SimplyPDF's
online PDF to Word conversion service with a very unusual extra.At first glance the website looks like many others
The interface is simple, and there are options to drag and drop or browse to the PDF you'd like to convert
It's not exactly crammed with features, but you can still add, edit, or highlight text, insert or move images and apply a handwritten
signature.Perhaps most usefully, the editor enables deleting elements of the document that you don't need
Simplifying a PDF in this way can improve the chances of an accurate conversion, and it's well worth a try if other converters aren't
accurately rendering the columns, colors and images
There was an issue with text spacing, but that was only because our system didn't include the font used in the source PDF, forcing FormSwift
All you get is a header and an Upload button
HTMLPublish is the only PDF conversion website we've seen which does that
Why, when we only wanted to download it In order that the website could display some ads, it seems, two of which included Download links of
the firm's own, presumably in the hope that users will click them accidentally
Clicking that link opened the PDF in a web page with yet more ads, and finally we could save it to disk
But we're recommending it anyway because it delivered some of the best and most accurate conversions of our test files
If other services fail, HTMLPublish is well worth a try, and if you hate the ads, the developer's PDF-To-Word application gives you
Launch the program and you're able to drag and drop as many source files as you need to convert
(Unlike most online converters, there are no limits on the size or number of files you can process at one time)
Our sample documents kept their content and basic layout, and looked much better than if we'd imported them using Word's own PDF converter
But font and text layout weren't always reproduced correctly, and it would take some time to fix these issues before we could begin any real
If your source files start with a title page, a blank page and a table of contents, you won't get to see what the program can do with
