Maintaining formatting is the biggest challenge when converting PDF to Word. To reduce issues: Use tools that support layout preservation (Adobe Acrobat, Google Drive, or dedicated online converters with “exact format” mode). Avoid converting scanned PDFs directly — those are just images, so they need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) first. In Word, after opening the file, check Page Layout → Margins, Columns, Fonts, since line breaks may differ. Complex PDFs (with tables or multiple columns) may not convert perfectly; you can use “Keep Text Boxes” mode to maintain positioning. 👉 Tip: Always compare both files side-by-side before sharing the converted version.
Yes — but you need OCR technology. OCR detects printed characters in an image and turns them into editable text. Most modern converters (like Adobe, Smallpdf, or GoConvertPDF) include OCR automatically. For best results, use a high-quality scan (300 dpi or higher) and avoid handwriting. After conversion, proofread the document — OCR may misread letters or numbers, especially on old or blurry scans.
