Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is PDF to Word conversion?
Accuracy depends on the PDF type. Text-based PDFs (created by Word, Excel, etc.) convert very accurately. Scanned PDFs may require OCR and will convert with lower accuracy. Tables and complex layouts may need minor adjustments after conversion.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?
Yes, but the result depends on CloudConvert's OCR capability. Scanned PDFs are images of text, not actual text, so the accuracy is lower than with digital PDFs. For best results, use a high-resolution scan.
Is my PDF safe when converting to Word?
Your file is transmitted securely over HTTPS to CloudConvert. CloudConvert automatically deletes files within 24 hours. PDFForge does not store any copies of your files.
What is the maximum PDF size for conversion?
The maximum file size is 4 MB, due to Vercel's request body limit on the free plan. For larger files, consider using Adobe Acrobat or a desktop converter.
Will the converted Word file preserve fonts?
Common fonts are preserved. Unusual or embedded fonts may be substituted with similar alternatives. Overall formatting including margins, headings, and paragraph spacing is maintained.
