Can I convert a pdf to Word for free

Hi Jerry N,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I am Blessing, an independent advisor here and a Microsoft user like you.

According to Microsoft , You can do this by opening the pdf file in the Word and save as.

To do this you have to open the PDF in Microsoft Word. This works best with PDFs that are mostly text. PDFs of book chapters or something that looks like a manuscript from a copier won't be formatted well in Word.

Kindly find steps below:

1. Go to File > Open.
2. Find the PDF and open it (you might have to select Browse and find the PDF in a folder).
3. Word tells you that it's going to make a copy of the PDF and convert its contents into a format that Word can display. The original PDF won't be changed at all. Select OK.
4. After your edits, you save it as a Word doc or a PDF. In the Save menu, choose which in the Save as dropdown menu and select OK.

Note: The converted document might not have a perfect page-to-page correspondence with the original. For example, lines and pages may break at different locations."

Hope this helps!

If you have Office 365 then open that file in Word
