How to convert native PDF, scanned image-based PDF and encrypted PDF to Word doc file.

Let us first take a look at what the PDF is ...

The full name of PDF is Portable Document Format, which is a E-document format developed by Adobe. Compared with common E-document such as, plain text, hyper text, RTF, Word etc., the PDF has the capability to preserve the style of the original perfectly, and is platform-cross. These features make PDF be an ideal E-document format to publish E-documents or disseminate digital information on Internet. More and more E-book, product data sheet, company report, network data, E-mail etc. begin to adopt PDF. Meanwhile, some PDF users, for extracting data from a PDF file or re-editing a PDF file, hope to convert PDF file to Word or DOC file. But unfortunately many articles about how to convert PDF to Word are already outdated, and these articles must waste the time of the people who really need changing PDF file to Word doc format.

 

Now, let me show you the 2012 newest, best PDF converting program and PDF conversion solution for you. I believe they can surely help accomplish the PDF to Word conversion task quickly.

#2. For scanned, image-based PDF files, the common PDF to Word converter can do nothing to them, and an OCR software is a must. I recommend Wondershare PDF Converter Pro to recognize and transform the scanned, image-based PDF to text-based Word. This program has the capability to extract contents from image-based scanned PDF, and save them as text-based Word, Excel, PowerPoint, EPUB, HTML and Text documents accurately.

2. Load image-based scanned PDF files to this program by clicking “Add Files”. You can add as many as 200 files at a time. And choose Word as output format above the main window. Furthermore, this program also supports Text, Excel, PPT, HTML and images as output format.

#3. For encrypted or password-protected PDF files, you need to remove encryption from PDF or type the password in the pop-up diglog box before converting this type of PDF to Word doc files. Either of the two program I recommend above can convert encrypted PDF to Word. In addition, if you forget the password of the password-protected PDF, you can use this PDF Password Remover to remove password from PDF.
