Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Converting PDF to Word is effortless with numerous free tools. However, there are important things you should keep in mind.

Can I just change the file extension to DOCX?

No. We strongly recommend you don’t change the extension of your document. Not only the format will not be converted, your file and the entire content may be broken and inaccessible anymore.

Will DOCX files look the same as PDFs after conversion?

Not always. Format conversion is a complex technical process. Therefore, some formatting may be lost, and output documents will not be 100% the same as original ones.

Authenticity depends on how well your software supports both PDF and DOCX. To achieve the highest fidelity, choose AVS Document Converter or other apps from our list.

Is it safe to convert PDF to DOCX online?

Yes. Online services store uploaded files only for a certain period of time. However, nobody is prone to data leaks today. We recommend you avoid converting documents with sensible information online.

What’s the difference between PDF and DOCX?

PDF is the standard for digital documents, supports various content types, and offers advanced security features.

When it comes to editing and printing, DOCX is a better alternative. Fast and easy, you can make changes in a file, even collaboratively.

Can I distribute output DOCX files online?

No, unless you’re the author of the original document or have an explicit consent from the copyright owner. Otherwise, you violate against the intellectual property law – especially, if you plan to monetize the content.

Also, remember to check regulations regarding online file sharing in your region.

How to open a DOCX document?

DOCX is a widely supported text format. You can open it with Microsoft 365, Google Docs, ONLYOFFICE, and other office suites.

If you need to get a PDF again, just save your Word file in this format.
