How to Convert a PDF file to Word for Free With PDF.Live

Have you been sent a PDF file and you really need to edit it? Then you're going to need to convert it to another file format first. The reason for this is that PDF files (Portable Document Format) are simply impossible to edit while they're still PDF files. For text documents like resumes, reports, contracts, etc, you'll most likely want to convert your PDF file to a Word file, .doc file, or docx file so that you can edit it in Microsoft Word or other text editors.

You'll know you have a PDF file on your hands because the file itself will have the word Adobe or Acrobat symbol on it. They'll look similar to the icons below.

So, in order to save you a lot of frustration and headaches, we've put this little guide together, to help you convert a PDF file to word and get on with your day. It's short, sweet, and most importantly EASY! You can convert your PDF to Word file in 3 clicks. No kidding!
