Extract PDF To Word: Effortless Text Extraction & Conversion Methods

Do you have a PDF document with content that you would like to edit or change in some way? Well, the best way to do that is to extract text from PDF to Word. Despite the fact that you can share PDF files with just about any device, on any platform, they can be notoriously hard to edit.

If you find yourself needing to extract PDF to Word for editing purposes, the following article will be very useful to you. In it, we will show you two different but effective ways that you can do that. Let's start with the most efficient of the two solutions.

Way 1. How to Extract Text from PDF to Word

Desktop converters remain the best solution for converting PDF documents to Word, particularly if the PDF file you are trying to convert is especially large. And the best desktop converter to easily and very quickly extract PDF to Word is UPDF.

Not only will UPDF for Mac keep the document intact in terms of the formatting, but it is also one of the least restrictive converters in the market. It has a simple user interface, making the process seamless and very fast. It also supports batch conversions, for those times when you need to multitask.

With UPDF for Mac installed on your computer, follow these simple steps to use it to extract PDF to Word:

Step 1: Import the PDF Files

Open UPDF for Mac on your computer and then click on "Open File" to open the PDF files. This will allow you to browse the files on your computer for the PDF you would like to convert.

The far simpler way to import the PDF would be to simply drag and drop the PDF file into the main UPDF window.

Step 2: Select the Output Format

From the right panel, click on the first icon and then select the "Word" option.

Step 3: Extract PDF to Word

Now, you can choose the page range if you needed. After that, click on the "Export" button to start the conversion process.

Then select the output folder to save the converted PDF and UPDF will begin to convert the PDF to Word immediately.
