When to use PDF to Word conversion
PDFs are designed for display consistency, not editing. When you need to modify a contract, reuse content from a report, or copy-paste from a locked layout, converting to Word first saves hours. PDFStack extracts text client-side — no server ever receives your document.

Frequently Asked Questions
What format is the output?
A plain-text .txt file with page separators. Open it in Word or Google Docs to apply formatting.
Will tables and columns be preserved?
Text is extracted linearly from the PDF's text layer. Complex column layouts may need minor cleanup.
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs contain images, not text. Use the OCR PDF tool first to extract text from scanned documents.
Is my document private?
Yes — conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded.
