About document conversion
Editable or final
A document is either something you are still working on or something you are handing over. Word formats keep it editable and let the layout move when the reader has different fonts. PDF freezes it, which is what you want for a contract, a CV or an invoice. Plain text keeps only the words, which is exactly right when the text is heading into another program.
What survives a conversion
The available PDF-to-Text tool extracts existing text and keeps page order and available line breaks. Fonts, images, interactive links and table layout are not preserved. Multi-column text may need cleanup, and image-only scans need OCR elsewhere. Word conversion is available with formatting limits described on each tool page. Text-to-PDF turns plain text into paginated PDFs.
Document conversion: common questions
Will my layout survive?
Word conversion reflows DOCX content into PDF and extracts editable PDF text into DOCX. Text-to-PDF turns plain text into paginated PDFs. PDF to Text extracts existing text without preserving the page layout; review the downloaded text before using it.
Which document formats are supported?
PDF to Text is available for extracting existing text from PDF files. Word to PDF supports DOCX files, and PDF to Word extracts selectable text. TXT to PDF creates paginated PDFs from plain text.
Is the converted text searchable?
Yes. Text is carried across as real text rather than as a picture of text, so the result stays selectable, searchable and readable by a screen reader.
