To convert a pdf to “.docx” file format:

1. Right click on the pdf file you wish to convert and navigate to Open with menu. It will show you a list of programs you use regularly too open pdf files on your PC as shown below.

2. If you don’t see MS Word in the list, click Choose Default Program and select MS Word. If you still didn’t see it in the option, click See more options. This will list all the software applications in your computer as shown below.

3. Once you click on the MS Word icon, MS Word will display a dialogue box notifying you that it will convert your pdf file to an editable format, which will take some time. Just Click OK to continue. Then the conversion process begins.

You have to exercise some patience because it takes some minutes especially if the pdf file contains many picture.

4. If the file is a secured pdf file, it will first open it in a protected view. Just click on Enable Editing so that you can make your changes in the file. MS Word will now perform the second conversion and opens the file in an editable view.

You will notice that the converted file will not be organized as the original pdf file. So take some time to re arrange the pictures and text to your own taste.

After you have edited the file, you will now have to save it with the “.docx” file extension which is the extension name of MS Word documents.

5. To save the file, Click on the File tab and then click Save As. This prompts the “Save As” dialogue box. Specify the save location and type in any file name of your choice. Ensure that the Save As Type is “.docx”. Finally, click the Save button.
