Convert PDFs to Word

Never re-type another document

A common frustration for office workers and other employees is spending too much time re-creating PDF documents—especially when it comes to PDF-to-Word conversions.

For example, imagine you just received a new contract from a vendor partner via email. You need to make some changes, but without a powerful desktop PDF tool, you might have to re-create this document from scratch in Microsoft Word.

Not anymore. With Nuance Power PDF, converting static PDFs into editable Microsoft Word documents is fast and easy. Stop re-typing documents and get back to what’s really important—your work.
