Converting PDF to Word

Nitro Pro contains export functionality that allows you to convert PDF files into Microsoft Word documents (.DOCX files) enabling you to easily and reliably re-purpose your content in Microsoft Word. You can convert a range of pages, whole files, or whole collections of files in a single task.

Nitro PDF Pro supports converting documents from PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF-A, rich & plain text, and image file formats.

Converting PDF to Microsoft Word:

  1. Open the PDF you would like to convert and choose File > Export… > select Word Document (DOCX) from the Export dialog.
  2. For added accuracy, please select the language of your document in the “Language(s) in document:” menu. Click Export.
  3. Choose a location on your hard drive to save this new Word document. Click Save to finish.
  4. Open After Saving is checked by default. If you don’t wish the Word file to open after you save it, uncheck this.

Note: The older .doc Word format is not supported. Depending on the size of the PDF this may take a moment. The dialog will change to show a progress bar along with the amount of time elapsed since the conversion started, and the estimated amount of time the conversion will take. Once the conversion is finished a Save dialog appears.
