Get a PDF's text back so you can edit it
When you need to edit a document you only have as a PDF, this tool extracts its text into a file that Word opens directly, split by page.
Tables, images and the original layout aren't kept: it's designed to recover the text so you can work with it.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Scans are images and contain no text. Run them through the OCR tool first.
Are tables and layout kept?
No. Only the text is extracted, in paragraphs by page.
Word shows a warning when opening the file. Is that normal?
Yes. The file is a Word-compatible document; accept the warning and then save it as .docx if you prefer.
