How to go from PDF to Word: All forms

Below we show all the ways that we can use in this sense, to be able to go from one format to another. So, if you ever have to, you can find the method that is easiest for you.

Web pages to convert PDF

The first method we have available is the use of web pages. There are many websites that are in charge of converting files from one format to another, also in the case of passing a PDF to Word. Just search Google to see that we have enough options in this regard. So it is a fairly easy option to use.

Furthermore, the operation of these web pages is always the same. We upload the PDF file that we want to convert, then select the output format and then it is a matter of waiting for it to complete. Then we can download it already in Word format. If you are looking for a website in this sense, there are some very well known and that work very well:

• SmallPDFPDF2DOCIlovePDF

Any of these three will give you the desired operation and be able to convert these formats easily. It does not matter too much which one you use, since all of them give the same performance and the operation is identical in all of them.

Google Docs

In Google Drive we find Google Docs, which is a great option at all times when converting formats. The cloud document editor of the American firm allows us to download files in various formats. Therefore, we can use it to convert files in this sense.

The first thing we have to do is upload the PDF file in question to Google Drive. When it is uploaded, we right-click on it and go to the Open With option. There we select to open with Google Docs, so that this file is opened with the document editor. After a few seconds a window will open where we already have the file, in a document editor. We can edit it now if we want, as if it were any document.

In this case, what interests you is being able to download it in Word format. To do this, we click on the File option in the upper left of the screen. A context menu with various options appears, of which we are interested in the Download, at the end of the list. When you mouse over this option, a list of formats in which to download the document will appear on the right. So we just have to choose the desired format for it.

In this way, a file that was originally a PDF has already been downloaded as a Word document. It is a simple process, although it takes a little longer to complete.

Adobe acrobat

Finally, it is something that we can also do using Adobe Acrobat, although this function is reserved for users who have the paid version of the program. But if so, you will be able to easily convert this PDF into a Word document using this program. The steps to follow are not complicated.

First of all you have to open the PDF file that we want to convert in Acrobat. When we have it on the screen, we go to the right panel of the document. There we find a series of options, one of which is Export. When selecting this function, it will give us a choice between a series of formats in which to save the file. We have to select the format that we want in this case, which is Word (normally docx).

The process will then start and take a few seconds. Then, we will get a notice on the computer that tells us that we can save the document in Word format. We can only choose a location on the computer to save it.

PDFelement

Another good PDF file editor, which we have already discussed above. This is another good option with which to convert a PDF file into Word format. It is one of the most popular features in this program, so it is worth considering as well.

If we have the file already open in the program, we can convert it in a couple of ways. We go to the file section in the upper left of the screen. It takes us to a new screen in which we select the option to convert and then choose the format we want.

Within the editing mode we also have the possibility of converting said PDF. In the upper right part of the screen several options appear, where we can choose the format to convert it directly. Thus, if we want to pass it to Word, we only have to choose that option.

These are the methods that we currently have available to convert a PDF file to Word. As you can see, they are simple options, but they are extremely useful. So use the one that is most comfortable for you.
