For a short time, Android users can now download and install an extremely useful app from Google Play for free, for which you would otherwise have to pay £4 / $4. We are talking about PDF to Word Converter Pro.
This app does exactly what its name promises: it converts existing PDF files into Word files (file format: DOCX). The advantage is that you can easily edit the content in Word format and do not have to pay for a PDF editor.
Note: Word can also open PDF files. However, not everyone has Word installed on their mobile device. With PDF to Word Converter Pro, you can open and edit PDF files regardless of whether you have the paid Office suite or not, and then save them as a Word file or PDF.
According to the developer, PDF to Word Converter Pro transfers all formatting such as fonts, paragraphs, lists, tables and columns from the original PDF to the Word file. You can edit the Word file as you wish and then save the result again in PDF format and send it on.
No registration is required for PDF to Word Converter Pro and you do not have to disclose any personal data to use this app. There are also no adverts and no in-app purchases. The OCR processing takes place on the developer’s servers.
How to convert a PDF to DOCX format
1. Select your desired PDF file and select “Convert”.
2. Wait while the app converts your PDF file to Word.
You can find your converted files under: Phone/PDF2Word Converter.
PDF to Word Converter Pro runs on Android smartphones from version Android 2.0. The app requires permissions that seem appropriate for its use. For example, it must be able to access storage and change or delete content there. Internet access is also required.
Top ratings on Google Play
Users give PDF to Word Converter Pro 4.9 out of a possible 5 stars. That is an absolute top rating. The app has been downloaded over 50,000 times so far.
As we said, PDF to Word Converter Pro normally costs £4.09 / $3.99, but is now available for free for a short while. If you want to get it for free, install it right now.
