But a finished-looking file may still need new prices, updated policies, rewritten paragraphs, or comments from colleagues. When you convert PDF to Word, you can work with that content in Microsoft Word instead of copying it into a new document one section at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recastia lets you convert PDF to Word in a browser. Upload the PDF, generate the Word file, and then download it or share it with someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is <a href=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recastia<\/a>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recastia&#8217;s PDF to Document tool turns a PDF into a Word file that you can continue editing. The same tool also supports PowerPoint, Excel, and image output. You can explore all four choices in this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/blog\/pdf-to-document-convert-pdfs-to-word-excel-powerpoint-and-images\/576\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guide to Recastia&#8217;s PDF to Document feature<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Word workflow is simple. After uploading a PDF, keep Word selected and start the conversion. Recastia then gives you options to download the Word file, open it, or share it through a link or QR code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"recastia-homepage-embed\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:1080px;height:clamp(560px,72vh,760px);margin:28px 0 36px;overflow:hidden;border-radius:14px;background:#f7f8fc;box-shadow:0 8px 28px rgba(31,42,68,.12)\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/\" title=\"Recastia official website\" loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"fullscreen\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Convert PDF to Word With Recastia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/pdf-converter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recastia PDF to Word converter<\/a><\/strong> and choose the PDF you want to convert.

You can open the converter, upload a PDF, choose Word, and generate the file without signing up first.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which Word Format Does Recastia Create?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Recastia generates a DOC file. You can see the filename in the completion panel before downloading it.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does the Converter Preserve the Original Formatting?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Recastia is designed to retain the PDF&#8217;s content and layout in the Word version. Headings, lists, tables, images, and spacing can remain in place, while complex columns, floating elements, or special fonts may need a few adjustments in Word.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I Open the Converted File Before Downloading It?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes.

Upload the file, generate the Word version, and then download it or share it with the people who need to work on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the layout must remain fixed and no further editing is needed, keeping the original PDF may be the better choice. When the content needs to keep evolving, the Word version gives you a more flexible place to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-efff9222 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-851e12b3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-radius:16px;background-color:#dce5ff;margin-top:32px;padding-top:24px;padding-right:28px;padding-bottom:24px;padding-left:28px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-weight:400\">Bring Your PDF to Life With Recastia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create, customize, and share your content in a more engaging way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/recastia.com\/\" style=\"background-color:#4f68e8\">Create With Recastia<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Convert PDF to Word with Recastia while keeping headings, lists, tables, and page structure editable.
