Frequently Asked Questions

Will the converted Word document look exactly like the PDF?
Not always. Complex layouts with columns, callout boxes, and precise formatting may shift. The tool prioritizes accurate text extraction over exact layout reproduction.
What format is the output?
The output is an RTF (Rich Text Format) file, which can be opened directly in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and most word processors.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
No. Scanned PDFs contain image data, not extractable text. This tool works only with digitally-created PDFs that have embedded text.
Is this free?
Yes, completely free with no file size limit imposed by PreppTools.
