FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything about converting PDFs to Word documents with PDFNEO.

How do I convert a PDF to Word for free?
Simply drop your PDF above and PDFNEO compiles it into a Word file instantly. You can download the .docx file immediately - 100% free with no email required.
Is this conversion safe and private?
Yes. PDFNEO does not upload your PDF to any third-party servers. All text extraction and DOCX generation happen client-side in the browser.
Does the output support tables and complex designs?
This client-side tool extracts selectable text lines and groups them into standard text paragraphs. Complex layout tables, shapes, and background graphics are not currently recreated in the DOCX.
Can I convert scanned PDFs to Word?
If a PDF contains scanned page images, it won't contain selectable text, resulting in empty paragraphs. You should run the OCR PDF tool first to generate searchable text, or copy text from there.
Will the Word document work in Google Docs and LibreOffice?
Yes. The output is a standard Office Open XML (.docx) file that opens perfectly in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Apple Pages, LibreOffice, and other modern office suites.
