After running OCR on a scanned PDF, export the extracted text as an editable Word (.docx) file or plain text (.txt). The Word output preserves paragraph structure and basic formatting where detectable, ready to edit in Microsoft Word / Google Docs / LibreOffice.
When to use this
Use to: edit a contract you only have as a scanned PDF (no editable original), update an old report's text without re-typing it from scratch, port scanned book content into a writable format for proofreading / corrections.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to PDF to Word?
PDF to Word works for text-based PDFs (where the text layer already exists). OCR PDF to Editable Text adds the OCR step for scanned/image-only PDFs first - then exports to Word. Use this when copy-paste from the PDF doesn't work.
