Convert your PDF into an editable Word document.
Convert your PDF into an editable Word document. PDF to Word is one of the five MyPDFMate tools that need a server: your file is sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection, converted, and deleted automatically within about an hour.
Answers to the questions people ask most about using PDF to Word.

Yes. You get a real .docx file that opens and edits in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice and Pages.
Scanned pages are pictures, so they come through as images rather than editable text. Use OCR PDF to pull the text out of scans.
Word 2013 and later can open a PDF directly (File → Open) and convert it into an editable document, though complex layouts may shift. MyPDFMate works without Word installed.

Your file is sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection to our conversion server, converted, and deleted automatically within about an hour. It is never shared or used for anything else.
