PDF to Office
PDF converter
Turns PDFs into editable Word documents, with Arabic and right-to-left text handled properly.
What it does
PDF to Office turns a PDF into an editable Word document. Each page becomes a Word page made of two layers: the artwork as a picture behind everything, and the text on top as real, editable text boxes with the right font, size, colour and position.
It is made for designers and event teams whose PDFs are brochures and floor plans, and it treats Arabic and right-to-left text as a first-class case. It converts on your Mac, needs no account and sends nothing anywhere.
The artwork stays a picture behind the page, with its own text taken out of it first, so no word is ever printed twice.
Text is written in logical order with direction declared on every paragraph and run, and the font goes in the complex-script slot. Reading order is rebuilt from glyph geometry.
Fonts are matched by PostScript name to the installed face, so Medium, SemiBold and Condensed survive. Unnamed fonts are identified by their shapes.
Every line is judged once by who actually paints it, so invisible text layers and outlined type never produce duplicates.
Page ranges, drag and drop, a Stop button, and 150, 200 or 300 dpi artwork. Output goes next to the PDF or into a folder you pick.
Conversion happens on your Mac. There is no account, no upload and no tracking.

FAQ
BASIC converts to editable Word (.docx). PowerPoint, Excel and InDesign output are part of ADVANCED.
BASIC keeps a scan as a picture. Reading the text of scans (OCR, in Arabic and 29 other languages) is an ADVANCED feature.
No. Conversion happens on your Mac and nothing is sent anywhere. There is no account.
Reading order for Arabic is repaired from glyph positions, which cannot undo everything a PDF producer destroys. Arabic that exists only as outlines stays as artwork rather than becoming garbled text.
macOS 11 Big Sur or later on Apple silicon. Intel support is part of ADVANCED.
Yes. BASIC is free to download and use, with no time limit, no ads and no account. ADVANCED will be the paid edition when sales open.
Our installers are not signed with an Apple Developer ID yet, so macOS asks you to approve them once. Follow the step-by-step guide. You can also check the SHA-256 fingerprint shown next to the download.
Not yet. We are completing our UAE business licence before we take payments. Join the waitlist and we will email you the day sales open.
