Select existing PDF text, adjust its formatting, and reposition or resize text boxes. Review and apply changes before export. Available editing depends on how the PDF was created. On image-only scans, OCR adds searchable text; it does not make the visible lettering editable.

When you need to go further.

Export to Word. Beta

Turn PDF content into a Word document with text, images and tables.

Complex layouts can change; some content may remain as images.

See details about export to word

Convert the PDF content to a DOCX document to continue working in Word. Check the result before use. You can also extract suitable detected table data to an Excel workbook. Excel export is for suitable detected tables, not an unrestricted conversion of every PDF layout. Check extracted data against the original.

Make scans searchable with OCR.

Search, select and copy words in scanned pages. Recognition runs on your computer.

The scan stays unchanged. Check recognised text for errors.

See details about make scans searchable with ocr

Recognise the current page or all included pages. Copy and highlight recognised text and retain it in the exported PDF. Clear, upright pages work best. OCR can misread words and numbers. Available languages depend on supported recognition languages installed in Windows.
