    Once you create a PDF file, you cannot make changes to it. You can only do so once you convert the file to Word. Although there are also several other online websites that can convert PDF files to many other formats, MS Word and Adobe Acrobat are the most used apps to do this conversion.

    Note: While a PDF itself might be well formatted, it is important to note that once you convert it into Word, you might lose the original page-to-page correspondence.

    Using Microsoft Word

    The easiest way to convert a PDF to Word is with Microsoft Word. You can easily open a PDF file with Word and even edit it. You can do it on PC as well as mobile. Follow these steps to do so.

    On PC

    1. Open Microsoft Word.
    2. Go to Open. You can also press Ctrl + O.

    3. Select a folder where the PDF file is and double-click on the PDF file you want to open.
    4. Click the OK button.
