Why convert to Word?

PDF is great for reading but awkward for studying. In Word you can copy headings into a summary, delete what you already know and add color-coded notes.

The converter rebuilds fonts, tables, images and columns into an editable DOCX. Very dense slide designs may shift slightly; text and structure are kept.

Scanned or photocopied notes

Scanned pages contain no selectable text. Run Extract text (OCR) first, then paste the text into Word.
