Free PDF to Word by Nitro PDF Software


     

Our broad set of PDF-to-Word conversion capabilities means you don't have to waste hours reformatting the content retrieved from your PDF files. Read below for some of the most useful.

 
Text formatting. Retain the same size and color as the original text.
Yes
Bold & italics. Retain bold and italic formatting wherever used.
Yes
Maintain rotated text. Keep text correctly rotated, irrespective of its orientation.
Yes
Hyperlinks. Retain active hyperlinks.
Yes
Ligatures. Easily convert all ligatures, such as fi, ft, ff, and more.
Yes
Multi-language text support. Accurately convert all Unicode-based text, in any LTR (left-to-right written) language.
Yes
Retain font appearance. When a PDF file uses a font not installed on your system, we'll replace it with the best alternative font.
Yes
Advanced font handling. When PDF files comprise text that has been custom font encoded, we use advanced OCR-based technology to extract text, not possible with other PDF-to-Word converters.
Yes
 
Proper paragraphs. Generate Microsoft Word files with correctly formatted and easy-to-edit paragraphs.
Yes
Justification & alignment. Maintain the correct alignment for paragraphs - left, right, centered, or fully justified.
Yes
Bullet and numbered lists. Ensure the layout and indenting of bulleted and numbered lists mirrors the original PDF.
Yes
Columns. Reproduce multi-column text layouts using Microsoft Word's built-in Column tools.
Yes
Headers/footers. Detect and recreate headers and footers.
Yes
 
Convert tables. Turn tabular content into editable tables.
Yes
Advanced table detection. Detect and accurately convert complex tables that normal converters can't, including tables without borders and cell formatting.
Yes
Re-use tables. After converting your PDF files, copy and paste tables into other applications such as Microsoft Excel, Google Spreadsheets, OpenOffice, and more.
Yes
 
Broad image support. Easily convert all types of images, including pictures, screenshots and photos, with complete support for the PDF specification's image filters.
Yes
Scalable charts, graphs, diagrams and vector images. Convert vector-based images into scalable objects in Microsoft Word, wherever possible.
Yes
Microsoft Word drawing shapes. Re-use graphics (originally Shapes and SmartArt) in Microsoft Word.
Yes
Transparency. Accurately retain transparency in images.
Yes
Backgrounds. Convert background images and ensure they remain behind the primary page content.
Yes
Effects.. Retain the look of effects like textures, patterns, shadows, and mirroring.
Yes
Order content. Correctly stack images and text in front or behind other elements so they appear the same as in the PDF file.
Yes
 
 
Phony paragraphs. We don't use line breaks to force text onto the next line, or text boxes to force blocks of text into position. We keep paragraphs editable and part of the on-page content.
No
Ignore text justification. We don't left align all text. We use the correct left, right, center, and justify text alignment tools.
No
Fake tables. We rarely use tabs to force tabulated information into a proper layout. Wherever possible, we re-build the table from scratch to ensure the best layout and editability.
No
Merge text and images. Some PDF-to-Word converters unnecessarily merge images and text during conversion to try to produce better-looking output files. We separate text and images for enhanced editability, while retaining the same layout.
No
Ignore headers/footers. Most PDF-to-Word converters ignore header and footer content and reformat it as a normal line of text on the page. Wherever possible, we detect headers and footers and recreate them using Microsoft Word's Header and Footer tools.
No
