Convert PDF to Word and Actually Edit It

The reason this matters: someone sends you a PDF and you need to change one paragraph. Without a converter, you're squinting at the source PDF and retyping it into Word. Painful.

The conversion preserves layout columns, tables (including merged cells), embedded images, and most fonts. Bold and italic survive. Bullet points come through as actual bullet lists, not as text with weird symbols. You'll still want to glance over the output — automatic conversion never hits 100% — but most documents come through clean enough to edit immediately.

Scanned PDFs need OCR first. The tool detects them and offers to run OCR before converting. The output is a real .docx, not a Word document with one big image inside it.
