Convert a PDF File to a Microsoft Word Document with the Use of Microsoft Word

Convert a PDF file to a Word document step-by-step

It is recommended that you use Microsoft Word to convert a pdf file into an editable word document; however, this is only possible if you have a subscription or licence for Microsoft’s Office 365, Office 2013, 2016, or 2019. If you do, follow the step-by-step instructions below to easily convert your file.

Step 1: Open Word and click on “Open” on the left side of the Window.

Step 2: Click “Browse”.

Step 3: Navigate through your computer to find the PDF file you would like to convert. Select it and click “Open”.

Step 4: Word will ask if you would like to make a copy or convert the pdf file into an editable document.

Note: It will notify you that the converted Word file may not look exactly like the original, particularly if it contains a lot of graphics. Nevertheless, the file should become edible.

Step 5: Click “OK”.

Don’t worry, Microsoft Word creates a copy for you, thus you won’t make any changes to the original.
