Complete Fidelity is now the default. It preserves every visible PDF element page-for-page — text appearance, headings, fonts, colours, lists, tables and merges, images and logos, charts and graphs, vector shapes and lines, icons, text boxes, columns, headers and footers, page numbers, captions, equations and symbols, checkboxes and form appearances, watermarks, backgrounds, borders, signatures and mixed page sizes/orientations — while also storing a native hidden Word text/OCR layer for Unicode text, RTL Urdu/Arabic, hyperlinks, PDF outline titles, form values and annotation text. Editable Native Layout rebuilds supported text, tables, merged cells and pictures as visible Word objects. Smart OCR recognises image-only pages and can replace corrupted embedded text from older Urdu or Arabic PDFs. High and Maximum Accuracy run locally; Ultra Nastaliq Scan Rescue is an optional Google Cloud Vision mode for difficult printed Urdu/Arabic books and scanned images.
How to PDF to Word
- Add any PDF — digital, scanned, multi-column, form, brochure, report or book.
- Use Complete Fidelity when nothing on the page may disappear; use Editable Native Layout when visible Word-object editing matters more than exact artwork. For scans choose Smart OCR or Force OCR and the matching English, Urdu, Arabic, or bilingual model.
- Click "Convert to Word" and download the .docx.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work on scanned or badly encoded PDFs?
Yes. Complete Fidelity keeps the scanned page visually and also runs the selected OCR path so recognised English, Urdu or Arabic text is stored in the Word file. Smart OCR detects image-only pages and suspicious legacy Urdu/Arabic text layers; Force OCR ignores the embedded text completely.
What happens to charts, shapes, signatures, watermarks and other objects Word cannot reconstruct?
Complete Fidelity uses the rendered PDF page as the visual fail-safe, so unsupported or flattened artwork still appears exactly where it belongs instead of being dropped. Native reconstruction is used where the PDF exposes enough structure; otherwise appearance is preserved visually.
Are tables, merged cells, fonts and formatting kept?
Editable Native Layout rebuilds detected tables, merged cells, text runs, fonts, sizes, bold/italic/underline, colours, alignment, RTL and extracted pictures. Complete Fidelity additionally guarantees the original visible appearance even when the PDF has flattened those objects into drawing instructions.
Are hyperlinks, bookmarks, form values and annotations retained?
Complete Fidelity stores link targets, PDF outline titles, widget/form values and annotation text in its native hidden semantic layer while preserving their visible page appearance. PDF features with no Word equivalent remain visually preserved rather than being discarded.
Which mode should I pick?
Use Complete Fidelity for the broadest 1-to-1 conversion coverage. Use Editable Native Layout when you need visible editable paragraphs/tables and can accept small layout differences, Reflow for rewriting, and Exact Visual Copy only when you want a pure page-image Word file with no semantic text layer.
Is this private enough for contracts?
High, Maximum and Fast OCR run on your device. Ultra Nastaliq is different: rendered OCR page images are sent through this site to Google Cloud Vision, so use local Maximum Accuracy for confidential material that must remain on-device.
