How to convert PDF to Word document?

Method number 1. Google drive

It would seem how you can use the cloud storage to make a Word file from a PDF document. Simple enough. To do this, we perform the following actions:

Upload the PDF file to Google Drive. To do this, click "Create".

After the document is loaded, you should right-click on it and select "Open with", then "Connect other applications".

A new window will open. In the list, look for "Converter for Drive Document". Click "Connect".

Now we right-click again and select "Open with" and specify this application.

A new window will open in the browser. First, we point to the file (1). Select it (2). We choose the format we want to receive (3). We indicate where to save (4). Click "Convert" (5).

We are waiting for the conversion. Go to the folder you specified for saving. Let's see the result.

A DOC document can be converted to PDF both online and using Word itself. To do this, follow the instructions:

• In the Word document, click "File", "Save As ...".

• A standard window for saving documents will open. In the column "File type" select "PDF".

• The file is converted.

It should be noted that if the document is in landscape orientation, then it should be turned over in advance before converting.

There is also a free program OpenOffice for converting a document to PDF, which allows you to change the file format. The principle of operation is the same as in Microsoft Office.

How to convert text from Word to PDF? A similar question may well arise for you when you need to send a document to a client by email, create your own e-book or instruction, or send a resume for a job. If you have been reading my blog for a long time, then it no longer seems difficult for you. For this you can use the free programs "Foxit Reader" and "Adobe Reader". But I have not seriously considered the issue of creating such an electronic document from a text document created in Word.

For this procedure, many programs have been created and are successfully used, free or requiring a license. For example: "PrimoPDF", "doPDF", "ABBYY PDF Transformer 3.0", "Solid Converter PDF" and of course "Adobe Acrobat". They work in different ways. Some work as a separate program in which you can make various settings for the final document. Others are built into the system in the form of a virtual printer and create a document when you print it in a standard way, but choose not a physical printer, but a virtual one. The document is then saved into a special folder. It is usually located in the "My Documents" folder.

By the way, this is how the free application installed with Foxit Reader works. True, on all pages of such a document there is an image of the copyright of the program, which we do not need at all. However, Foxit Reader also has such a useful editing function as creating a menu for the document being viewed.

There are also online services for converting to PDF text documents. But in this post I will consider other basic options for converting text DOC files to PDF.

How to convert a document from Word to PDF in OpenOffice 3

One of the easiest ways to turn a document with text and pictures into pdf format is to use the free office one already discussed on the blog earlier.

In order to do this, you need:

• Open a document in this program.
• Click on the icon in the menu labeled "PDF"
• In the "Export" window that appears, select the folder to save (by default, the same where the original document is located), enter the desired file name and click the "Save" button

After a short wait, the document in the new pdf format will be created in the specified folder. It can be opened, sent and used for the purpose for which it was created. The file will be saved with default settings, which are usually needed to get the best result. But, if you have a lot of images in the file, then the file will be quite large.

In order to change the situation, you need to make the transformation a little differently.

• Click on "File" in the menu and then on "Export to PDF ..."
• In the "General" tab, find the "Image" section
• There, adjust the settings for "JPEG compression - Quality" and "Image resolution. The higher the settings, the better the quality of the resulting document and the more weight.
• Click on "Export" and create PDF_document.

In the same window, you can configure many more parameters, including assigning a password to open a document (the "Security" tab). If the document contains external links and links for navigating the document itself, then you need to configure the appropriate parameters in the "Links" tab.

All in all, this is a pretty easy way to convert a text document to an e-book. Naturally, if you use OpenOffice in your practice.

How to convert document from Word to PDF in MS Word 2007

There is no PDF converter in the default 2007 version of the package. It was planned, but Adobe, which owns the rights to the format, forbade it from being included in the package. Nevertheless, for those who wish, a plug-in for MS Word 2007 is available on the Microsoft website: "Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS" e. It weighs a little less than a megabyte.

To install it you need:

• Download it (from a file hosting service or offsite, at the link above).
• Install the plugin by running the downloaded file. You will need to check the box under the warning and click "Continue".
• After finishing the installation, click "OK"

• Click on the "Office" button (in the upper left corner)
• Click "Save As ..." and then click "PDF or XPS"
• The "Publish as PDF or XPS" window appears.
• In the window, select the target save folder
• Enter file name
• Select the optimization method "Standard" or "Minimum size"
• Click "Publish"

If you have not unchecked the "Open file after publication" checkbox, then after processing the file will open in your reader for viewing PDF documents.

Everything described is true for Microsoft Word 2007. For other versions of this program, such plugins are not yet known to me.

PDF (pdf) is a format through which you can easily and conveniently read books on a computer. It allows you to maintain good quality not only text, but also images, therefore it is often used in printed products.

If this is just an e-book that you read for the soul, then this format does not cause any inconvenience. But when you have to work with such a document, for many it can be a problem. It is not very clear how to translate it into plain text and, in general, whether it is possible to do this without losing formatting.

Now we will look at the simplest ways to translate into Word while maintaining the original look.

Using Microsoft Word 2013-2016

In the latest versions of Microsoft Office, the Word application has a built-in pdf conversion tool. You just need to open the file in this program, and then the system will do everything by itself.

1 . Click on the "FILE" button in the upper left corner of the window.

2. We go along the path Open → Computer and select the folder where our file is located.

3. Select the document and click the "Open" button.

A warning window will appear, which you can skip reading and immediately press the "OK" button.

That's all! Now the document can be edited and saved in the usual doc or docx format.

True, the page breaks are not located in the same places as in the original file, but this can somehow be survived. The main thing is that all tables and lists are editable.

Via Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader

If you have an old version of MS Word, but you have Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit Reader (one of them usually opens all pdf files), then you can convert using it.

1 . Open the file in Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader and copy the desired fragment of the document.

Usually, you just need to open the file and it will immediately start in one of these programs (at the top it will be written in which one).

To copy all the text in Adobe Reader, click on "Edit" at the top and select "Copy file to clipboard".

In Foxit Reader, to transfer all the text, you need to click on "Home" at the top, click on the clipboard icon and select "Select All". Then click on the icon again and select "Copy".

2. We create a document in Word. To do this, right-click on any free space on the Desktop and select New → Microsoft Office Word Document.

Or you can simply open the program via Start → All Programs → Microsoft Office → Microsoft Office Word.

3. Insert into the document the fragment that we copied from the pdf file. To do this, right-click on the sheet and select "Insert" in the context menu.

As a result, we get the same text, but with the ability to edit. True, it is often added with slightly modified formatting and without images.

Minuses

• If the document is large, the insertion is very slow or the Word just hangs tight. And sometimes even small text is not inserted. Output: select / copy / paste in parts.
• Images are not copied. Exit: take screenshots of them by pressing the Print Screen keyboard key, and then paste into Word (right button - Paste). But you still have to crop and resize the resulting image.
• Sometimes formatting suffers a lot: fonts, letter sizes, colors, etc. Exit: edit the text manually.

Summary: with plain text, this option is quite acceptable, but if the document also contains tables, lists, images, it is better to convert in other ways.

The topic covered in this article has already been raised. Anyway, converting from Word to PDF remains relevant for everyone who works with documents in one way or another.

It is important that there is a check mark on the item Install add-in for Microsoft Office... After making sure of this, press Install now.

Basically, you can now print to PDF from any program where printing is possible at all. You just need to select doPDF 8 from the list of printers.

A window with settings will appear, where you can select the quality of the generated PDF and the path to save. Click OK.

After a little thought, the program will open the freshly baked PDF file in the reader. The created file will be located in the folder you specified.

2. The second method is even easier than the first. After installing the doPDF 8 virtual printer, a new tab will appear in all Microsoft Office applications, including Word, -. To quickly export a Word document to PDF, open this tab and click Save as PDF.

In principle, you don't have to climb the settings - the result is already excellent. But just in case there is a button Settingswhere you can set some additional export options.

The main distinguishing feature of PDF files, which has led to the wide popularity of this format of text files in recent years, is that PDF documents look the same on all devices running different operating systems. Currently, this format of text-graphic files is used to publish electronic versions of books, glossy magazines, scientific and other documents. As long as you use PDF files only to view the information they contain, you won't have any problems with them.
