What Does This Tool Do?
This tool reads the text content of a PDF and places it into a new Word document, paragraph by paragraph, so you can edit it in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Because it works entirely in your browser without a paid conversion service, it focuses on getting the text out reliably rather than perfectly recreating complex layouts.
