Why use this PDF to Word (OCR) converter
Scans become text
Image-only pages are read with OCR, which is the part most PDF to Word converters skip or charge for.
Headings and tables kept
Headings use Word heading styles and tables are real Word tables, not tab-separated text.
Reading order fixed
Columns and page headers are handled, so paragraphs are not cut up across lines.
What people use it for
- Editing a scanned contract or agreement
- Updating an old document when only a scanned PDF is left
- Getting a scanned form into Word to fill it in
- Translating a scanned document in Word
