Many users who want to extract non-textual data from a pdf document help themselves by creating a screenshot of that data to embed it into their documents. While most pdf readers are nowadays capable of copying text from pdf documents they usually do lack the ability to copy more complex data like tables or drawings from these documents.
Enter PDF to Excel and PDF to Word, two online services created by the same developer that convert pdf documents in microsoft word or microsoft excel documents. Both products are available online and simple to use. Three steps are required to convert the pdf document. The user needs to select a pdf document from the local computer system, pick a output format and enter an email address where the converted pdf document should be send to.
The test results have been impressive. Take a look at the screenshot of the first page of a pdf document and its Word conversion.
The conversion comes close to the original. Some parts might need some fine tuning but the overall look and feel of the pdf document has been carried over and probably more important than that the data in the tables looks exactly like that in the pdf document.
PDF to Excel (link) and PDF to Word (link) are two helpful online services for users who have to convert pdf documents into Word or Excel format.

Thanks, I can certainly use something like this.
OK. I tried it and got the converted pdf in like 5 minutes. The result was absolutely fantastic and way better than anything i have tried before.
Also the design of the website is extremely easy on the eyes.
Looks like a winner to me.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to do any OCR.
I scanned a seven page document that consisted of just text and a table using the scan to pdf feature on our copy machine and sent it in to be converted to Word. I got back a word document that consisted of seven pictures of my text.
Well that is strange as my document consisted mostly of text with the exception of a few letters in the middle (the markets part). Everything else was copyable. I suspect they try to OCR and if that fails they create pictures of the contents that was not identified.
I’ve tried to convert a small PDF document (150 KBytes) using PDFtoWord service. It works like a charm. The result was in my mailbox after 3 minutes. Also It understands Cyrillic in file names and contents perfectly. Thanks, Martin, for useful post!
Anyone got concerns about the fact that you’re sending information to a third party? Would you use this service for work documents, or anything with bank details, social security details on it?
Just curious.
Dave. I personally would not upload any document or file to the Internet that contains information about myself, business, family or friends.
