How accurate is the conversion?

Very accurate for vector PDFs with embedded text — paragraphs, tables, and headings come through cleanly. Scanned PDFs need OCR first; the text layer is then converted, but complex layouts may need light cleanup.

Will it preserve images and tables?

Yes. Images are extracted as embedded objects; simple tables convert to Word tables; complex multi-column layouts may need adjustment.

We map embedded PDF fonts to the closest Word-installed font. If the original font isn't available on your system, Word will substitute automatically.

My PDF to Word job is stuck on "processing".

Refresh the page and try again. Browser-side processing depends on your device's CPU and RAM, so closing other tabs usually helps.

The downloaded file looks different from the preview.

Clear your browser cache and re-run the job. Outdated cached fonts can occasionally cause rendering glitches. If the issue persists, email us a sample to help@pdfwix.com.

Can I undo a PDF to Word operation?

Your original file is never modified — PDFWix always produces a new file. Just discard the new version and start again with the original.
