PDF to Word with editable equations.
Upload a PDF and get a .docx back in which a formula is a Word equation you can click into, and a table is a Word table with a value in every cell. It works on scanned PDFs, so a chapter you only have as a photocopy becomes a document you can edit.

Before and after
The page, as a Word file.
Drag the handle. Left of it is the PDF page that went in; right of it is the .docx that came back for it, open in Microsoft Word.
- 01Equation 4 is a Word equation, with its number at the right margin.
- 02Table 2 is a Word table: five rows, four columns, a value in every cell.
- 03The symbols inside the sentences are Word equations too, not pictures.
Not a mock-up. The Word view is the .docx Doc2X returned on 15 November 2026, open in Microsoft Word. Open the PDF that went in and the Word file.
Why it holds together
A document, not a picture of one.

The downloaded file, opened in Word and nothing else done to it. 01
Equations you can click into
Every formula is written into the file as a native Word equation. The .docx for the sample page holds seven of them: the numbered equation and every symbol in the sentences. Click one and Word opens it in its equation editor.

Tables stay tables
The table is read off the page as rows and cells and written as a Word table. Change a number, add a row, restyle it: it behaves like a table you typed yourself.
Scanned page, nothing to select ### 3.2 Variational objective We train the encoder \( {q}_{\phi }\left( {z \mid x}\right) \) and the decoder \( {p}_{\theta }\left( {x \mid z}\right) \) jointly by maximising the evidence lower bound on the marginal log-likelihood of each observation \( x \) :What came back for the scan: the same Markdown as for the digital page, character for character 03
Scans become documents
A scanned PDF is a stack of pictures. Doc2X reads the print, the formulas and the tables off the image before anything is written, so the Word file you get from a scan is text, equations and tables, not a page-sized image.

One conversion, four formats
The same conversion also downloads as Markdown, LaTeX and Typst at no extra cost. Take Word for the colleague who edits in Word and Markdown for your notes.
How it works
Three steps from PDF to .docx.
01
Upload the PDF
Drop it into the box at the top of this page. Up to 20 MB on the free plan, 200 MB on Starter and 500 MB on Pro.
02
See what it costs, then start
The workbench counts the pages and shows the total before anything is taken: a quarter of a credit a page. The sample page took five seconds.
03
Check it, then download
The document opens as text beside the original PDF so you can check it page against page. Then download Word: the dialog opens on it when you come from this page.
The fine print
What it takes and what it gives back.
Better to know before you upload. The last list is what it does not do today.

Not a fit yet
- A copy of the page layout. You get the content in reading order, in one column, not text boxes placed where the PDF had them.
- The fonts and colours of the original. The Word file uses its own plain styles.
- Photos, Word, PowerPoint or EPUB files as input. Only PDFs are taken today.
- Excel. Tables come inside the Word file; there is no .xlsx download.
How do I convert a PDF to Word and keep the equations editable?
Upload it here, start the conversion and download Word. Doc2X reads every formula as a formula and writes it into the .docx as a native Word equation, so you can click into it and edit it. Most converters turn formulas into pictures or loose characters.
Is the PDF to Word converter free?
The free plan gives you 50 credits every month and needs no card. Converting a page costs a quarter of a credit, about 200 pages a month. The total is shown before you start, and a conversion that fails is not charged.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?
Yes. Scanned pages are read with OCR that handles print, formulas and tables, and are then written into the Word file as text, equations and tables. There is nothing to switch on.
Will the Word file look exactly like the PDF?
No. It holds the content of the PDF in reading order, in plain styles, which is what makes it easy to edit. It does not rebuild the page with text boxes. If you need the same page layout in another language, use the PDF translator, which returns a PDF.
Are tables converted as tables?
Yes. A table on the page becomes a Word table with one cell per value. The table of the sample page came back with five rows and four columns.
What happens to pictures and charts?
They are placed in the document as pictures.
Can I also get Markdown or LaTeX?
Yes, from the same conversion and at no extra cost: the download dialog offers Word, Markdown, LaTeX and Typst on every plan.
What happens to my file?
It is uploaded over an encrypted connection, used to produce your conversion, and deleted automatically within 31 days. Unless you explicitly agree, your files are not used to train AI models offered to the public or to other customers.
