How to copy PDF to Word?
When surfing on the internet, we may find that most of files are in PDF format, such as government reports and academic papers. For study or work, we may need to copy PDF to Word for further contents reuse. For example, quoting some comments of a specialist for discussion, or extracting graphics for postcard design. However, the problem is how to copy PDF to Word. After all, there are some difference between PDF and Word. The article below will show you two common ways.
Directly Copy and Paste (Only for normal PDFs)
It is a simple way to copy PDF to Word. Previously, you need to install a PDF Reader, such as Adobe Reader; and MS Word. Here is the solution:
1. Open PDF file using the pre-installed PDF Reader.
2. Select the contents you want to copy, and press Ctrl+C.(Press Command+C if on Mac)
3. Open a Word document and press Ctrl+V. (press Command+V if on Mac)
This way is workable but with some disadvantages. First, we could only copy text to Word, except of layouts or graphics, which would mess up in Word document. Second, if there are many texts to copy, it would be quite time-consuming. Third, we can’t copy PDF to Word if the PDF files are protected or secured from copying and pasting. Apparently, when coming across these problems, Copy and Paste will not work any longer. Thus, we should refer to other solutions.
