PDF to Word Converter

[sydborn]

Hi All,

 

 

Please anyone know of free or paid for PDF to Word Converter that can be deploy on the network and used by multiple users?

Office 2013 will open pdf's and allow you to edit them most of the time.

Office as well

 

NitroPDF is what we used to use though if you're after something fancier

Office 2013 or Office 2016 is the way to go, with no requirement for third party software.

[sydborn]

Hi @micheal do you pay for it?

 

How do you go with setting one up?

 

Thanks

You buy into a volume license agreement for Office, as you would Windows. The PDF converter is built into Office itself - File > Save as, change it down to PDF from DOCX.

It dose not work

If you mean to edit the PDF you just go Open as a normal document and it'll ask to convert it?

 

Think he means to save as a PDF not edit one

Open the PDF document through the File Manager within Word 2013/16 and it prompts you that it will convert the PDF into an editable Word Ducument.

BE PATIENT, this conversion can take some time and a lot of CPU cycles.

 

If your lucky, and there's not too many tables or fancy formatting you end up with a fairly reasonable copy of the PDF in a docx format, that you can edit and then save as a .pdf again!

 

However, if the PDF has complex tables inserted graphics or objects the OCR conversion that Word does can often produce a document that's severely mangled and takes as much time to reformat as it would to type from scratch!

 

Editing the PDF directly is a tricky task and to do it easily requires the right tools.

Obviously Adobes own DC is the way to go but stupidly expensive even on Edu pricing.

I use the Foxit Software Phantom PDF Editor myself and for what it cost me I really can't complain.

They have a Volume license program and a free trial.

Worth checking it out.

You can also use free online websites to convert PDF to word...

[sydborn]

Thanks Guys.

 

 

It is easy to convert to PDF using the inbuilt office converter but it is not possible to convert pdf to word. Please correct me if am wrong

 

 

Thanks

If you right click any PDF in Explorer, select 'Open with' > Word 2016, you'll be prompted to convert. Depending on how it's compiled and how big it is, it can take minutes to open/process.

Hi @Arthur, That is word to pdf. I am talking about PDF to word.

It's definitely PDF to Word since it's the Open dialog box shown in the screenshot (see top left).

[sydborn]

Thanks @LeMarchand .Please how do you open The pdf using the file manager? I open pdfs by double clicking on it.

[Andrew_C]

Single RIGHT click on the .pdf, choose "open with", select "Word".

[Arthur]

how do you open the PDF using the file manager? I open PDFs by double clicking on it.

Right-click PDF, goto "Open With" menu and choose Word.

 

Edit. As Andrew said.

 

Alternatively goto the File menu in Word, goto Open and select your PDF.

We have Nuance PaperPort bundled with our a Brother MFDs. Copy your PDF into its folder and then OCR it. Works most times, unless complex formatting.

[speckytecky]

If you have a licensed Adobe Suite you will have Acrobat built in that and opening a PDF with Acrobat gives the option of saving it as a Word document.

 

An add thougt a few hits on the Thank You button to those who have responded would be appreciated.

We use Word 2016 for converting PDF's to Document files for editing. Although, sometimes it converts all the text into one great big image.

[broomop]

i normally use https://cloudconvert.com/ however, office might be a better option.
