Frequently asked questions
Does this also work with scans?
Yes. Text recognition reads printed text in over 40 languages.
Do I need Word?
Not for converting. You then open the .docx file in Word, LibreOffice or Pages.
Are tables and headings preserved?
Yes. PDFMy reassembles paragraphs, turns headings into real Word headings and tables into Word tables with the column widths of the original. Complex layouts are simplified.
