Question 1

How do I convert a PDF to Word for free online?

Accepted Answer

With ForenShield: 1) Open the PDF to Word tool at forenshield.com/en/tools/pdf-tools. 2) Drag and drop your PDF file. 3) Click 'Convert' — the .docx file downloads instantly. No sign-up required, 100% free, no file sent to our servers.

Question 2

Does the PDF to Word conversion preserve formatting?

Accepted Answer

ForenShield extracts text with its fonts, sizes and styles (bold, italic) as well as images. Complex layouts (multi-column tables, precise positioning) may differ from the original PDF. For simple text PDFs, fidelity is very good.

Question 3

Does ForenShield send my PDF files to its servers?

Accepted Answer

No. PDF to Word conversion happens entirely in your browser via the pdfjs-dist and docx.js libraries. No file ever leaves your computer — total confidentiality guaranteed, even for sensitive documents (contracts, medical data, legal documents).

Question 4

Can a scanned PDF be converted to Word with OCR?

Accepted Answer

ForenShield's PDF to Word conversion works on natively textual PDFs. For scanned PDFs (images of text), text extraction may be limited. In that case, scanned pages are embedded as images in the Word document.

Question 5

What other formats can I get from a PDF?

Accepted Answer

From a PDF you can convert to: Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel, JPG (one image per page). The suite also includes reverse conversion: Word → PDF, PowerPoint → PDF, Excel → PDF, JPG → PDF.
