How to Compress PDF to Word Online and Offline

If you have a large PDF file, you may want to convert it to Word format as a way to break up the content and share it more easily. This is possible because it is much easier to edit, cut and copy content in Word format than you would on a PDF.

But without the right tool, it can be very hard to compress PDF to Word since most converters will alter the makeup of the original file, making it twice as hard to edit the content. In this article, we will share with you two ways that you can compress PDF to Word more easily so you can then edit the PDF document any way you want.
