There are different ways to convert a pdf file to Microsoft Word format. The most convenient ones are through an online converter and through Google Docs.
Why translate a pdf file to Word format
First of all, this is done to be able to edit the text and data that are contained in the document. The pdf format is oriented towards file reading (passive viewing). To make edits to the document and transform its content through Microsoft Word, we need to convert the pdf file to doc or docx format.
Method number 1 (fast and dangerous)
We type in a search on the Internet "pdf to word" and find a free online converter that itself converts your file to another format after downloading the document.
For example, I go to the site pdf2doc.com, which already gives instructions on what to do to translate the document into an extension for Microsoft Word. You can watch the video in this article, it contains the process of converting the file.
Why is this method dangerous?
This file conversion method is fast enough but risky. Many sites on the Internet have questionable content that can be misleading. Along with the converted file, you can download malicious software to your device. Viruses can cause irreparable harm to the device and even steal confidential information, so it is recommended that you run an antivirus program with reliable protection before using this method of converting files. The choice is yours.
Method number 2 (slightly longer and safer)
Open Google Docs. Click on "Create document" (empty file).
On the top panel, select "File" - "Open" and load the document, which will be translated from pdf to docx.
In the opened document, hover the cursor over "File" - "Download" and click on "Microsoft Word (DOCX)".
Immediately after that, the download of your document in the new docx format will begin. It can be launched quickly and without problems in Microsoft Word.
Why is this method convenient?
Converting the file is completely legal. Google Docs is an official and trusted web resource that can't harm your device. Moreover, this method of converting the file is completely free and does not require downloading any third-party software.
What other way is there
You can download a converter program from the Internet, which runs on the device as a separate application. You do not need to go online to use the application. The main disadvantage of such programs is that most often they are paid.
For example, Adobe offers to download a free trial version of Acrobat Pro DC, but to download it, you need to enter your bank card details, from which, after the end of the free period (7 days), funds are automatically debited for a new paid period.
