Will the converted Word document look exactly like the original PDF?

For text-based PDFs, formatting like paragraphs, bold/italic text, and basic layout usually carries over well. Complex layouts with multiple columns, tables, or unusual fonts may need manual adjustment after conversion.

Can this tool convert scanned (image-only) PDFs to editable text?

Scanned PDFs are essentially images of text rather than real text, so they may convert into a Word document containing an image rather than editable text, unless the PDF already has an OCR text layer.

What Word format does the output use, .doc or .docx?

The tool outputs a modern .docx file, which is compatible with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and most other word processors in current use.

Do I need Microsoft Word installed to open the converted file?

No, .docx files can also be opened for free in Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, or Word Online, so you don't need a paid Word installation to view or edit the result.
