How to convert a PDF to a Word document, and edit it

Looking to edit a PDF file in Microsoft Word? You don't need to download a converter, because Microsoft Word has a PDF converter built in.

In this video I show you how to use it.

This video is a life saver, and I wanted to express gratitude. I'm in grad school and wrote my paper saved both MS and PDF somehow the original preserved word doc was changed by autosave. I had the PDF didn't know how to convert to MS, and I had minutes to submit the paper. Watching your video helped me tremendously...Thanks a million!!!!👍🏾

I appreciate how you got straight to the point from the beginning, and stood away from advertising and trying to sell something. less talk more action with this guy if anyone was wondering.

Thank you! The pdf I converted did require some minor editing but can't believe how easy this was. I'm sure I'll use it a lot now.

WOW. SO EASY AND HELPFUL. You saved me HOURS of work, thank you, Dave!

[lisadillman]

I CAN NOT believe how easy that was -- thank you!!! You're right; I had no idea that I already had this in Word :)

[haymidenbel]

I had such a hard time converting my PDF document to WORD. Wow!!! So simple, short, and clear way. Thank you so much.

Dave, as much as I've been doing this I didn't think to open the file in Word. Since learning new things with Apple and IOS I lost some of what I knew and used to do on a PC. Very helpful, thank you.

This is amazing! I'm almost done with college and I didn't know this till now. Haha. Mahalo nui loa

[chimdisharon]

Thank you so much. Every other video on this subject found it necessary to make the process more complex than it already was. One of them even tried to convince me it would be impossible to convert without first of all downloading her app. I understood this right away and I have my word doc safely archived for use tomorrow. I am beyond grateful.

Hello Dave, Your video was very helpful. You communicated very clearly and concisely the steps that I needed to follow to achieve my objective. Thank You very much...keep up the great work!

[keithdeyo]

Awesome. You are what I've been looking for, for years! Clear, concise, and to the point! Many thanks!

All the time I was searching for a free app that does this and it was right in front of my eyes.. Thank you so much! This was so necessary

Brilliant ! I've watched a few and they advise using other software to 'change' the PDF suitable for editing. This is by far the simplist and it was there all the time. Many thanks.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! You are a true lifesaver! This is exactly what I needed to figure out this challenge I've had for such a long time and thanks for pointing out the simplest of solutions! Your help with this is greatly appreciated!

So far, I agree with all the comments I've read. I thought I was going to have to retype a 5-page document and now can just edit it. When the word document first appeared, it was in a Read Only format. I enabled editing and it brought up a new document that I could play with. And now I'm going to play! Thank you Dave.

Dave! Thank you, thank you! So easy when you know how! I am hopeless with these things. I will follow you for sure, you explain things so easy.

[lesbloom]

Such a simple solution. Works perfectly, even with text boxes to fill in. Well done Dave!

[joekelly]

Absolute legend. After it finished I was laughing thinking theres no way it's that LOL. It was. Thank Davey boy

Been trying to convert the PDF document to Word for days, wish I came across your video earlier, and did it in seconds after watching the video. Thank you very much!
