PDF to Word (DOCX) conversion
Send a PDF of any quality — including scans — and receive a clean, editable DOCX that is ready to hand straight to your translators.
What you get back
We do not run your file through a one-click exporter and hope for the best. We build a new DOCX and place text and graphics into it deliberately, so the document behaves correctly when your linguists start working.
- Reconstructed headers and footers
- Footnotes, endnotes, and captions in place
- Numbered and bulleted lists as real Word lists
- Automatic page numbering and section breaks
- Tables, columns, and text boxes rebuilt to match the source
Scanned and image-only PDFs
Image-only files are processed with OCR in many languages and scripts, then rebuilt — not flattened. You get a document your CAT tool can segment, not a picture of one.
Why agencies outsource this to us
PDF-to-Word looks trivial until a 200-page manual with nested tables and mixed languages lands the day before a deadline. We handle the volume and the edge cases so your project managers keep their turnaround promises, and your in-house team stays on higher-value work.
Formats in and out
In: PDF (native or scanned), image files, and legacy office formats. Out: DOCX, or a translation-ready package for your CAT or TMS. Delivery by email or straight into your system.
PDF to Word questions
Can you convert scanned PDFs to editable Word?
Yes. Scanned or image-only PDFs are processed with OCR and rebuilt as fully editable DOCX files, with layout and structure reconstructed rather than flattened.
Do you keep the original formatting?
Yes. Headers, footers, footnotes, numbered and bulleted lists, and automatic page numbering are recreated so the DOCX is ready for translation and re-flow.
How long does conversion take?
Turnaround depends on page count and complexity, but a firm quote and deadline are usually returned within 15 minutes of receiving the files.
