Where do my files go?

Do PDF → Word and Excel keep the original layout?

PDF → Word rebuilds fonts, images, tables and columns into an editable document; complex designs may differ. PDF → Excel extracts detected tables; run OCR first for scanned documents.

Which files can I use?

Depending on the tool: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, JPG and PNG. Password-protected PDFs and Office files with macros or external links are not supported. Size and page limits are shown in the job panel.
