PDF to Word
PDF to Word writes an Office Open XML document on this device. Paragraphs and simple tables come from selectable text. It does not rebuild every font, column, or graphic the way a desktop publisher would.
Privacy and offline checks
Document processing runs locally in supported PDFForge workflows. This panel is a diagnostic view; it cannot prove that no data left the device.
Observed resource activity
0 observations in this page session · 0 need inspection
Resource timing is unavailable in this browser. Use the independent checks below.
Page timing and the active service worker report different surfaces and may observe the same request. Worker activity can be incomplete; WebSockets, request bodies and extensions are outside this view. The latest 60 sanitized observations stay in memory only. URLs, filenames, query strings, document content and byte counts are not recorded here.
Verify independently in DevTools
- Use a clean browser profile and synthetic documents. Open Network in DevTools and enable Preserve log.
- Prepare offline below. Switch Network to Offline, then reload the saved workspace and select a new file.
- Inspect, redact, run output checks and download. Inspect failed requests and request payloads, including worker requests. A same-site request can still transmit data.
- Inspect Application or Storage. Cache Storage should contain public app assets and setup records only. Document recovery and content telemetry are disabled; recipe settings are saved only after opt-in.
Offline readiness
Full workspace not prepared for offline use
English OCR not prepared for offline use
Prepare while connected to save the workspace, tools, fonts and workers. English OCR is optional. Only public app assets are saved; documents, outputs and passwords are excluded. Browser storage can be cleared or evicted. Check saved assets before disconnecting and prepare again after an app update.

Questions
PDF to Word FAQs
Does conversion upload my PDF?
No. Text extraction, packaging, and download run in this browser tab.
Will the Word file match the PDF layout exactly?
No. Text, optional English OCR, and optional page pictures are assembled into .docx. Complex layouts, custom fonts, and vector art can differ. Spot-check in Word or LibreOffice.
What about scanned pages?
Pages without selectable text run on-device English OCR unless you turn that option off. You can also include page pictures, or prepare the scan with Scan Document first.
