About this tool
This tool pulls the actual text out of your PDF (using pdf.js text-layer extraction) and builds an editable Word document — paragraph breaks and page order preserved — which Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice all open. Honest scope (read this): this is a text-level conversion. Multi-column layouts become sequential text, tables become lines, images are not embedded, and scanned/image-only PDFs have no text layer at all (they need OCR, which runs server-side at other sites — exactly the upload-privacy trade-off we avoid). If your goal is editing text from a normal text PDF — reports, letters, papers — this gets you there in seconds, privately. For pixel-identical Word recreations, no honest free client-side method exists.
