How to use PDF to Word on Mac
- Click the button and choose the file in Finder, or drag it from the desktop onto the page.
- Wait a moment while the file is converted.
- Download the DOCX. On Mac it goes to the Downloads folder in Finder, also shown as a stack in the Dock.
Can Mac do this on its own?
macOS has no built-in way to turn a PDF into an editable Word file. Preview can copy text out of a PDF, but tables, columns and formatting are lost, so a real conversion saves a lot of retyping.
Opening the result on Mac
Your DOCX is saved to the Downloads folder in Finder, also shown as a stack in the Dock. Double-click to open in Pages, which ships with every Mac, or use Microsoft Word if you have it installed.
