## Answer

Drop a text-based PDF into the converter below and export a .docx. Scanned pages need OCR first so there is text to export. The file stays on your device.

## Limits

- Complex layouts may simplify in Word.
- Scans without a text layer export empty or image-heavy docs until you run OCR.
- Not a perfect one-to-one recreation of every design.
