PDF has been one of the most popular document file formats since its inception in 1993. The PDF format is more secure, preserves all visual elements and offers better file compression but where it fails to match Word format is the convenience with which you can edit a document. This is one of the prime reason why people search for online sites, tools, and software that let you convert PDF files to Word documents.

In this article, we will be looking at the best online tools to convert a PDF to word format.

Editor’s Note: You should note that if your PDF file is encrypted, it’s highly unlikely that online conversion will work. Also, if your original file is too complex, it is possible that alignment or some parts of the document gets muffled. We also advise you to not convert any sensitive files online.
