Fileminx
The first of the tools I want to invite you to try is Fileminx’s free online Word PDF converter . It is an online “all-in-one” conversion service that allows you to freely transform various types of files: not only PDF documents and Office files but also photos, videos, music and more. It’s 100% free, requires no sign-up, and supports uploading files up to 50MB (with no limits on the number of pages).
How does it work? After connecting to its home page through the link I provided you just now, click on the Choose file button (or Browse ) and select the PDF you want to transform into a DOC file. Then click on the Continue button , select the Word 97–03 icon from the page that opens and wait for the document to be first uploaded online and then converted.
The duration of the operation depends on the speed of your connection and the weight of the file to be processed. At the end, to download the output file in Word format, click on the link that appears under the heading Here’s your file in the blue box and you’re done. If you haven’t changed your browser’s default settings, the converted document will be saved in your computer’s Downloads folder .
Convert.Files
Another universal converter capable of doing a great job with PDF files is Convert.Files , which manages to keep intact even the formatting of those documents that have many tables and images inside them. In addition, it supports OCR technology that allows you to obtain editable DOC files even when the source document includes text in the form of images. The service does not require registration and supports the upload of files up to 250 MB (with no limits on the number of pages).
To use it, connected to its home page using the link I just indicated and click on the Browse button … to select the PDF to convert. Next, make sure that MS Word 97/2000 / XP is set in the Output format drop-down menu and click on the Convert button .
At the end of the conversion process, the link to download the output file will appear: click on it and the document in Word format will be downloaded instantly to your computer, in the Download folder (provided you have not made any changes to the default of the web browser with which you are surfing the net).
Nitro Reader
The website of the popular PDF reader Nitro Reader (if you remember correctly, I told you about it in my guide dedicated to programs to open PDFs ) also contains a free Word PDF converter that you can use without downloading and installing new programs on your computer. It does not require registration (although you must provide your email address to start the document transformation) and has a file limit of 50 pages or 5 MB in weight. It also doesn’t allow you to convert more than five documents per month.
To find out how it works, connected to its home page using the link I indicated earlier, click on the Select a file button and choose the PDF document to convert. Then type your email address in the text field below and click the Convert Now button to start uploading and then converting the file.
At the end of the operation (the duration of the process depends on your Internet connection and the weight of the PDF) you will receive via email the direct link to download the file in DOC format. Easier than that?
Go4Convert
The Web services that I have already proposed have not been able to attract your attention in a particular way and are you still looking for an online tool that allows you to transform your PDF files into Word documents? Then try the Go4Convert site and you will see that you will not be disappointed. It has no size limits for the documents to be transformed and almost always keeps the original formatting of PDFs intact. It works with any browser without requiring the presence of particular plugins on the computer and without the need for registration.
Explaining how it works would be practically superfluous given its extreme simplicity of use. In any case, all you have to do is connect to the main page of the site via the link I have just indicated, choose the desired output format from the drop-down menu Output Format by selecting DOCX or DOC and drag the PDF file to be converted on the writing Drop your file here .
Then wait a few moments for the upload and conversion procedure to start and at the end of it your PDF transformed into Word will be automatically downloaded to your computer, directly in the Download folder of the same (provided you have not made changes to the default settings of the browser that You are using).
Other interesting solutions
Haven’t you been able to find the free Word PDF converter that you think would do the most for you? Your documents have not been scanned correctly and you are unable to convert them? Would you prefer to take advantage of the “traditional” software to download and install on your computer? Then you can try to turn to OCR (optical character recognition) programs .
These are tools capable of recognizing the writing characters present in images and transforming them into editable texts. Among the best software of this type are ABBYY FineReader for Windows and Prizmo for Mac. Both are paid but also available as a free trial version for a limited time. For more information on how to use them, read my article dedicated to scanning programs .
