Guide: Best Tools to Convert PDF to Word Documents Online

Have a document that you want to convert from Adobe PDF to Word format?

There are benefits of converting files online. For instance, if you pick a file that needs to be converted, convert it using online tools as there is no need to download any software.

The online file conversion can take place on any kind of browser and on any type of OS — Windows, Mac or Linux — as everything happens on the server. Plus, you don’t have to pay anything, as online document converting services are free to use.

Before Using These PDF Converter Tools

After having used most of these web tools regularly, I know some of them can be shady. Although you don’t have to register an account for converting .PDF to .DOC file format, you may receive unexpected email message from them — these are usually promotional messages, but they are occasionally sent.

This usually happens when you ask these sites to send you an email after the file has been converted. Note that all the submitted and converted files will remain on the servers for a short time, which means you have to download them quickly — none of your files will be visible on the Internet.

One More Thing…

Most of us convert files because editing .doc documents is easier than editing PDFs. Teachers, usually in college, demand students to send assignments and homeworks in Microsoft Word format.

Now, if you are going to use the sites mentioned below, and you don’t want to receive promotional messages, use disposable email addresses instead of going with your primary email address.

That said, here are my top 7 picks of the best online tools available on the web that makes it easier to convert PDF to Microsoft’s Word documents.
