Export selectable PDF text to Word

This tool reads selectable text from a PDF and creates a Word-compatible document you can open and edit. It works best with digital PDFs. A scanned PDF is an image, so it needs OCR before its words can become editable text.

Before you download or submit

Review the finished result carefully before using it for office work, an employer, a school, the IRCC portal or another government website. Check page order, dates, names, signatures, readability and the file-size limit for the exact upload form. Keep your original file so you can make changes or provide a clearer copy later.

Will a scanned PDF become editable Word text?

Not reliably without OCR. This browser tool exports text that already exists in the PDF.

Is the downloaded file editable?

Yes. It is a Word-compatible document containing the extracted text.

Does the conversion upload my PDF?

No. Text extraction happens locally in your browser.
