Example for the Standard package

PDF to Word: a 22-page rental agreement rebuilt as an editable document

Before (text as copied out of the PDF)

4.2 The Tenant shall pay the Rent monthly in ad- vance on or before the 1st day of each calen- dar month by bank transfer to the account Residential Lease Agreement v3 Page 6 of 22 stated in Schedule 2. 4.3 If any Rent remains unpaid 14 days af- ter the due date the Landlord may charge interest

After (in the Word document)

4. Rent and Payment (Heading 2)

4.2 The Tenant shall pay the Rent monthly in advance on or before the 1st day of each calendar month by bank transfer to the account stated in Schedule 2.

4.3 If any Rent remains unpaid 14 days after the due date, the Landlord may charge interest at the rate set out in Schedule 2.

Clauses 4.2 and 4.3 are real Word numbered list items, so adding a clause 4.2a renumbers everything after it on its own.

Tables

The rent schedule was split across pages 21 and 22 in the PDF. It is now one Word table with a repeating header row:

ItemAmountDue
Monthly rent[amount]1st of each month
Security deposit[amount]On signing
Late payment interest3% above base rateAfter 14 days
Key replacement[amount]On request

What was done

  • Text: all 22 pages transferred word for word, 6,840 words
  • Headings: 12 section titles set as Heading 2; the document title as Heading 1, so the Navigation pane works
  • Numbering: 94 clauses rebuilt as a multi-level list (1, 1.1, 1.1.1)
  • Clean-up: 22 page footers and 214 broken line ends removed; 38 hyphenated words rejoined
  • Signature block: rebuilt as a two-column table for Landlord and Tenant

What was left out

  • The scanned logo on page 1 (as you asked)
  • The decorative border around page 1
  • Exact fonts: the document uses Calibri 11 throughout

Checked: clause count matches the PDF (94 of 94) and no paragraph is missing between pages.

Client: a small property manager with 14 flats Input: "Residential Lease Agreement v3.pdf", 22 pages, exported from an old template; the original Word file was lost Client's instructions: keep clause numbering exactly, keep the rent schedule table, drop the footer "Page X of 22" and the scanned logo

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

When the only copy of your article, thesis or conference paper is the journal or university PDF, revising it for a resubmission, a chapter or a new edition means getting it back into Word. Send the PDF with selectable text and we rebuild it as an editable Word document word for word: headings with real styles, abstract, numbered sections, tables as Word tables, block quotes, footnotes turned into numbered notes at the end and the reference list with one entry per paragraph. Equations, figures and charts are not carried over and are marked in the text so you know where to put them back.

What is included

  • What you getAn editable Word document with styled headings, sections, tables, notes and a clean reference list, the same as a clean PDF, and a list of every equation, figure and chart that was left out with its location. Journal headers, line numbers and page numbers are removed.
  • Styled headingsSections you can navigate and renumber
  • Tables rebuiltEditable Word tables with captions
  • Notes keptFootnotes as numbered notes
  • Clean referencesOne entry per paragraph, no broken lines

What we need from you

The paper or thesis as a PDF with selectable text (up to 3 files, for example chapters), the language, whether footnotes should become endnotes or stay as notes after each section, and which parts to drop, such as the journal's cover page.

We will ask you:

  • What will you use the Word file for?
  • Should footnotes become endnotes?
  • Which parts should be removed?
  • Which language is the paper in?

Questions and answers

Will equations be editable?

No. Equations are not carried over; each one is marked in the text so you can re-enter it with Word's equation editor or paste it from your source files.

Will you reformat it to a new journal's style?

Not in this service: we restore the document as it is. For a check against new author guidelines, see our manuscript formatting check.

Is there a limit for non-Latin languages?

Yes. For Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai and similar scripts, Premium covers up to 30 pages instead of 45.

My PDF is a scan. Will that work?

No, a PDF without a text layer is not accepted here. For scans and photos, use our service for typing text from images.
