everyone kevin here today i want to show you how you can change a pdf into a word document that you can then edit i’m going to show two different ways that you can do this one on your pc and then also on your mobile device all right let’s jump on the pc first and see how we could do this here i am on my pc and i have a pdf file that i would like to convert into a word document so i can edit it it’s extremely easy to do and when i show you you’ll probably laugh at how easy it is we’re gonna use the app microsoft word to do the conversion you guessed it let’s open up microsoft word once you have microsoft word open you’ll land on the start page to convert your pdf into a word document it’s extremely easy you simply select your pdf file and then drag and drop it on microsoft word once you drag and drop it over you’ll see a message telling you that it’ll now convert your pdf into an editable word document that’s exactly what we want to do there is one caveat that it calls out if your pdf has lots of images and pictures in it it might not look exactly like the pdf looked but if it’s pretty text heavy it’ll be an almost identical conversion if you’re going to be converting files a lot you can set it so you don’t see this message again by checking this box otherwise if you’re ready to go let’s click on ok to see how this turns out here it is my pdf has now been converted into a word document it brought that image in and it brought all of the text in the great thing now is i can go in and i can edit any of this text so let’s say for instance i want to insert my name there and it looks like a pretty good conversion overall there are a few things that were missed though for instance the bullets weren’t maintained here it inserted an x but overall it did a pretty good job and you can now edit your word document along with dragging and dropping a pdf into microsoft word if you’re already in word and you’re no longer on the start page you can go up to the file menu in the top left hand corner you can then click on open and then navigate to where you have your pdf file i just clicked on browse and i have my file here on the desktop next i’ll click on open here too this will also open the pdf file and then you can edit it in microsoft word next i want to show you how you can convert a pdf into a word document on your phone if for whatever reason the previous technique did not work you can use your phone as well today i’m using an iphone but this will work on either an android phone or on an iphone first off we need to get the microsoft office app on an iphone i’m going to click into the app store if you’re on an android phone click into the play store next let’s go down and click on search this opens up the search field and right up in the search field type in microsoft office once you’ve finished typing in microsoft office let’s click on search you’ll see a whole bunch of results let’s click on the one that says microsoft office if you don’t yet have it click on install or get in my case i already have the app installed so i’m going to click on open this opens up the office app and by default we land on the home view to open your pdf you can click on this file icon in the top right hand corner and you can navigate to where you have your pdf file saved you might have it in onedrive sharepoint you could also open it from your phone wherever the file is you can navigate to it in fact you could even add other storage accounts down below you can bring in pdf files from onedrive dropbox box and the list goes on and on you can bring in your pdf file pretty much from anywhere back on the home screen i’ve now navigated down to my pdf file this is the same exact file that i had on the desktop here too i’m going to click on this pdf file when i click on the pdf this opens it on my iphone and i can now see all the details of this file i want to convert this into a word document how do we do that well up in the top right hand corner you’ll see an ellipses let’s click on the ellipses within the sub menu that appears there’s the option to convert this to word let’s click on this this now converts my file and just like before i can now click into it and i can start editing the text directly in this so this is now converted my pdf into a word document just like on the desktop it’s a pretty good conversion there are some slight issues just like before for instance the bullet points get turned into x’s but otherwise it looks pretty good once you make your edits or once you make changes to this it’s now a word document and you can share it with others up here you can click on the share button and you can email this you can attach it you can send it wherever you want but your pdf is now a word document alright well that was a quick look at how you can convert a pdf file into a word document and then you can edit it who would have thought that you could just do it directly in microsoft word if for whatever reason microsoft word didn’t work for you you also have the mobile office app that you can also use and that’s entirely free to download and use if you found this video helpful and you now know how to convert a pdf into word please give this video a thumbs up if you want to see more videos like this in the future hit that subscribe button and lastly if you want to see me cover any other topics in
