Various conversion apps/programmes are available; some free and some at a price. Online conversion services are also available. I have tried a few of the conversion services but I have neither found a free one nor an online one that does the job perfectly. There are always a few things that do not convert perfectly, but that is understandable if the nature of a pdf file is taken into consideration. Paid versions might do it better.
On the online side, I have had rather good success with https://pdf2docx.com/, but sometimes one does not want to entrust your files to the internet.
So, what to do? Answer: Just use your own MSWord programme on your computer. I am currently using the subscription service of Microsoft Office 365, and converting a pdf file to an MSWord can be done with it. I think since MSWord 2013 can be used as well. Certain things in the files still need to be manually corrected/formatted as is the case with other services.
The steps (on my machine) are as follows:
1. If MSWord is already open.
1.1 Click on File. This is what I then see.
1.2 Click on Open.
1.3 An "Open" window will show up. Browse to find the folder where your pdf file is. Select the pdf file you want to convert. In the Open window, ensure that you change the type of files you see (bottom right-hand corner of the window).
1.4 Click OK and there you go!
2. When MSWord is not open.
2.1 Launch/open MSWord. This is what I then see on my machine.
1.3 An "Open" window will show up. Browse to find the folder where your pdf file is. Select the pdf file you want to convert. In the Open window, ensure that you change the type of files you see (bottom right-hand corner of the window).
1.4 Click OK and there you go!
2. When MSWord is not open.
2.1 Launch/open MSWord. This is what I then see on my machine.
2.2 Click on Open.
2.3 Follow the above-mentioned steps from 1.3.
Hope this will help!
