Tips for a clean conversion
- Start from a text-based PDF, not a scan. A scanned page has no text to extract; run it through PDF OCR first.
- Check tables and columns closely. The output does not reconstruct their layout; arrange the extracted text into the structure you need.
- Going the other way? Use Word to PDF to turn a document back into a PDF once you are done editing.
