Frequently Asked Questions - Document Conversion
Can PDF to DOCX conversion preserve tables and formatting?
Yes. Our converter identifies document structure - tables, columns, headings, images, and fonts - and reproduces them accurately in the Word output. Complex PDFs with multi-column layouts and nested tables are handled well.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to an editable Word document?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are processed via built-in OCR before conversion - extracting text from the image and building an editable DOCX. Quality depends on scan resolution and clarity.
What is the maximum file size?
For very large legal filings or books, contact us about enterprise options. The maximum file size depends on your plan.
Are there watermarks on converted documents?
No. Converted files are completely clean - no watermarks, overlays, or branding of any kind.
Is my document kept private?
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. How long they are kept depends on your plan.
