2. Conversion settings
This browser-based converter extracts selectable text. Scanned/image-only PDFs need OCR first. Always review the DOCX, especially tables, columns and special formatting.
Convert PDF to Word Online – Create an Editable DOCX File
Need to edit text from a PDF in Microsoft Word? Use the JIOPDF PDF to Word converter to extract selectable text from a PDF and create an editable Word DOCX document in your browser. Choose the pages you need, review or correct the extracted text, set your document options and download the Word file.
This online PDF to DOCX tool is useful when you want to reuse text from reports, notes, forms, study material or other text-based PDF documents. The conversion focuses on editable text; it does not promise an exact visual copy of every original PDF layout.

PDF to DOCX features
- Editable Word output: Create a DOCX file that can be opened in Microsoft Word and compatible word processors.
- Selected-page conversion: Enter page numbers or ranges instead of converting the whole PDF.
- Text preview and editing: Review and correct extracted text before creating the document.
- Document formatting options: Choose a font size and whether PDF pages should start on separate Word pages.
- TXT export: Save a plain-text copy when you only need the extracted words.
- Browser-based processing: The PDF is read in your browser; the required conversion libraries load from a CDN, so an internet connection is needed.
What happens to PDF formatting?
PDF and Word store document layout differently. JIOPDF rebuilds an editable, text-focused DOCX from selectable PDF text. Text and basic line structure can be transferred, but the original PDF's exact fonts, columns, tables, images, headers, footers and page positioning may not be reproduced. Always open and review the DOCX before using or sharing it.
Can you convert a scanned PDF to Word?
A scanned PDF usually contains page images instead of selectable text. This converter may not find text in an image-only scan. Run the document through an OCR tool first, check the recognized text for mistakes, and then use the PDF to Word converter. Handwriting and low-quality scans can produce recognition errors.
Who can use a PDF to Word converter?
Convert text-based PDF notes, study material, meeting documents, reports, application forms and other documents when you need to edit or reuse their text. For complex designs or documents where the original visual layout must remain identical, use a dedicated layout-preserving conversion workflow and compare the result with the source PDF.

Why is my PDF text not being extracted?
The PDF may be scanned or image-only, password-protected, damaged, or contain text in an unsupported encoding. If it is a scan, use OCR first. Check that the PDF opens normally and that its text can be selected.
Will the converted Word document look exactly like the PDF?
Not necessarily. This tool creates an editable text-focused DOCX. Complex tables, images, columns, page positioning and fonts may need manual adjustment in Word.

DOCX is a widely supported Word document format. You can usually open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice Writer, then review the formatting in your chosen app.
Does the PDF to Word tool create a ZIP file?
No. The Convert to Word action creates one .docx Word document. The separate TXT option creates one .txt text file.
Are my PDF files uploaded to JIOPDF?
The PDF reading and DOCX generation in this tool run in your browser. The page loads its PDF and DOCX processing libraries from a CDN. Avoid using any online tool for highly sensitive files unless its data handling meets your requirements.
Keep your original PDF as a backup. Library loading requires an internet connection; conversion output should be checked before relying on it.
