Does it work on scans?

Only after a searchable OCR text layer has been added.

Will the DOCX look identical?

No. It prioritizes editable text and page order, not fixed PDF layout.

Are images transferred?

No. The current converter creates paragraphs from extracted text.

Are page boundaries preserved?

Yes. Word page breaks are inserted between source pages.

Is output a genuine Word file?

Yes. It creates a DOCX package rather than renaming a text or PDF file.

About the PDF to Word

PDF to Word extracts selectable text from each PDF page and creates a real DOCX document. Text lines become editable Word paragraphs, and page breaks separate the source pages.

The converter prioritizes editable text and page order rather than visual reconstruction. Columns, fonts, images, exact spacing, headers, and complex layouts are not reproduced faithfully.

No OCR is performed, so image-only scans require OCR Searchable PDF first. Text extraction and DOCX packaging run locally, with very large text-heavy files limited by browser memory.
