Editing a PDF in Word works best if it is mostly text. PDFs of book chapters or something that looks like a manuscript from a copier won't be formatted well in Word.
- After opening Word, go to File > Open.
- Locate the PDF and double click on it to open it (you might have to select Browse and find the PDF in a folder).
- A dialog box alerts you that Word is converting the contents. Windows users may need to click OK.
- The original PDF will not be changed. After your edits, save it by choosing File > Save. The default is to save it as a Word document. To save as a .pdf:
- Windows users: Change the Save as type option to PDF and then click Save.
- Mac users: Change the File Format option to PDF and click Export.
Note: The converted document might not be perfectly page-to-page compared to the original. For example, lines and pages may break at different locations.
