Find answers to common questions about our PDF tools
DOCX is the standard Microsoft Word format used since Word 2007. It's an XML-based format supported by Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, Pages on Mac, and virtually all modern document editors.
Yes. Upload the DOCX to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs. Most formatting is preserved. Some complex formatting elements may render slightly differently in Google Docs vs. Microsoft Word.
The converter attempts to match fonts. If the exact font isn't available on your system, Word will substitute a similar font. For documents where font matching is critical, you may need to manually set the fonts after conversion.
The tool processes one file at a time. For batch conversion, process each PDF individually.
Yes. DOCX is compatible with Word 2007 and later. For very old versions (Word 2003 and earlier), you'd need to save as DOC format from within Word after conversion.
