Frequently asked questions

Will the formatting be preserved when converting PDF to Word?

Yes. File Converter preserves fonts, tables, columns, and layout as accurately as possible. Complex PDFs with heavy design may have minor differences, but text-based documents convert very cleanly.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word on Mac?

Best results are with text-based PDFs. Scanned PDFs are images of pages and require OCR (optical character recognition) to extract editable text, which may reduce accuracy.

What Word format does it output, DOC or DOCX?

File Converter outputs DOCX, which is the modern Microsoft Word format compatible with Word 2007 and later, Apple Pages, and Google Docs.
