To edit the contents of a PDF, convert it to a Word document (.docx). It works best when the PDF has selectable text; if it is a scan, you need OCR first.
Convert the PDF step by step
- Upload the PDFOpen the PDF to Word tool and select the document.
- Process the fileSubmit the job; it is converted on the server to .docx.
- Download and reviewOpen the Word file and check tables, columns and images before you treat it as final.
Is your PDF text, or a scan?
That is the key difference. If you can select the text with the mouse inside the PDF, conversion to Word will be reasonably good. If the PDF is a photo or a scan of paper, there is no text to copy: it is an image. ToolZen does not invent an OCR step inside PDF to Word; those are two published tools.
What to check in the result
- Tables and columns: they are what shift the most.
- Page breaks and headers: they can move.
- Images: check they are still where they should be.
