A visual example

Choose what should be easier to edit

Example: a report has a heading, a paragraph and a chart. The two Word modes rebuild it differently.

  1. Rebuilt reading order

    Project report

    First paragraph follows the heading.

    Next paragraph follows the first.

    01

    Reading flow

    Paragraphs can flow through the document. Confirmed tables and detected raster images can be included.

  2. Positioned text

    Positioned text

    Editable text frames approximate their original positions over a raster graphics layer.

Use reading flow for rewriting text, or positioned mode when the approximate page arrangement matters more.

Illustrative example. Illustrative comparison. Original styles and structure are not recovered. Reading flow does not carry over vector drawings; positioned graphics are rasterized. Check substituted fonts, tables and line breaks.

How to use it

  1. 1Select PDFs and page ranges. Read native text first; explicitly enable optional OCR only for pages without text.
  2. 2Compare each source preview with extracted text. Correct words, review table rows and columns, and adjust reading order for a reading-flow document.
  3. 3Choose reading flow or positioned layout. Confirm table candidates and font substitution; rotated text needs reading-flow mode.
  4. 4Create real DOCX files and download individual documents or the ZIP with conversion reports. Reopen in Word or LibreOffice and check line breaks.

The two-page synthetic PDF includes two text columns, IDs 0012 and 0042, a three-column table and an image. Change an ID before export and check the actual Word text and table cells.

Details & limits

Up to 5 PDFs, 10 MiB each, at most 20 selected pages across the batch, 6,000 text fragments and 120,000 characters per document. Bounded PNG previews and 100 image regions. Encrypted, signed or active PDFs and unsupported PDF image filters are rejected by the shared PDF preflight. English/German scan OCR is an optional separate download. Editable text uses Liberation Sans; original fonts and document semantics are not recovered automatically. Word reading flow keeps detected raster images; vector drawings require positioned mode.

Is the Word file a page image with hidden text?

Reading-flow export creates native paragraphs, list items and confirmed tables; image regions remain images. Positioned export creates editable text frames over a graphics-only raster layer. Table values require a verified source cell grid and receive separate frames; uncertain table geometry requires reading flow. It approximates layout and does not recover original styles, footnotes or semantic tags. Scanned pages require reviewed OCR, and their original graphics are not retained in editable mode.

Choose editable flow or positioned reconstruction

Flow mode builds paragraphs and reviewed tables; positioned mode places text near its original coordinates. Graphics are raster images and fonts are substituted, so layout can change. Scans need the optional reviewed OCR step. Up to five PDFs of 10 MiB each and 20 selected pages total are supported.

Up to 5 PDFs, 10 MiB each; select at most 20 pages across the batch. Native PDF text is read first. No Office engine download is needed for this export.

PDF stores positioned marks, not the original document structure. Reading order, table boundaries, fonts and page layout are reconstructed and require review. Lists and confirmed tables become editable objects. Positioned mode retains a raster graphics layer; Word reading flow includes detected raster images only.

Reading flow includes detected raster images. Vector drawings are not carried into this mode. Choose positioned layout to retain the page graphics as raster images. This is a mode limitation, not a claim that this document contains vector drawings.

Scanned pages · optional OCR

Optional recognition loads about 8.2 MB of static OCR software. It starts only when you check this box and read the pages. Uncertain words must be corrected. OCR does not rebuild scanned graphics as editable objects.
