PDF to Word Conversion Guide

PDF Reflow allows users to open PDF files in Word 2013 and edit the content. When a PDF is opened in Word, the layout and formatting is reconstructed so that text, images, and diagrams can be copied and pasted while maintaining structure. PDF Reflow works best for PDFs originally created in Word or other word processors before being converted, and it is optimized to interpret document text layout like lists, tables and columns. However, some formatting may change and undetected elements will appear as plain text or images rather than maintaining their original structure.

How PDF Reflow works


Opening a PDF in Word allows you to copy the content you want—including images and diagrams.

When you copy content directly from a PDF file and paste it into Word, the pasted text doesn’t have any
formatting. PDF Reflow reconstructs the original layout elements in a Word document where it’s easy to
copy, paste, and change content.

This document was created in Word and converted to PDF by Word. PDF Reflow works best on PDF files
that were originally created in Word or another word-processing program before being converted to PDF.

Some key facts about PDF Reflow


Which documents work best with PDF Reflow?
PDF Reflow works best with documents that are mostly text, such as legal, business, and scientific
documents. That’s because it’s optimized to interpret a document’s text layout (including lists, tables, and
columns).

If a PDF contains mostly images and diagrams, such as a presentation or a brochure, it might not reflow
into Word as expected.

Why doesn’t the converted document look exactly like the original PDF file?
Because PDF Reflow converts the original PDF file into a Word file, some things might change. For
example, the pages might break differently from the original PDF.

What happens when PDF Reflow does not detect an element?


Undetected elements appear as plain text or inside a text box. If the element is a chart or a diagram, it
might get converted into points on a grid or a bitmap image.

For instance, if PDF Reflow doesn’t detect a footnote, the note text might appear as plain text right after
its note reference mark, instead of at the bottom of the page, and it won’t be linked to the note reference
mark.
