PDF to Word Converter — Free, Private, No Upload

CourtPDF’s PDF to Word Converter keeps every byte on your device. Drop a filing, policy, or employment packet and download a DOCX in seconds—no logins, no uploads, and no email required.

Why convert PDF to Word for court and work

Judges, landlords, and HR teams often need an editable copy of the original PDF so you can highlight facts, fix typos, or add a declaration. Converting to Word lets you add clarifying paragraphs before exporting a new PDF via theWord to PDF tool, attach evidence in MergePDF, and flatten the final packet inFlatten PDF before filing.

How CourtPDF keeps conversion private (browser-only)

The converter runs entirely in your browser using pdf.js to extract text and a lightweight DOCX builder to rebuild the document. Nothing is uploaded to CourtPDF or any third-party service. Pair it with Court Bundle Maker to keep a full audit trail of what left your device.

Step-by-step: Convert PDF to Word

1. Open the PDF to Word tool.
2. Select your PDF (or click Load sample PDF to see how it works).
3. Click Convert to Word (DOCX)—CourtPDF extracts page-by-page text.
4. Download the DOCX instantly, edit in Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice, then save a new PDF if needed.

What converts well (and what doesn’t)

Text-heavy pleadings, policy manuals, and PDF e-mail exports convert almost perfectly. Complex layouts with columns, fillable form fields, or scanned images convert as plain text (images and handwriting aren’t imported). If you need a faithful replica, combine the DOCX with screenshots in Court Bundle Maker or leave the original PDF intact.

FAQs

Is this as good as Adobe Acrobat?

For text extraction, yes—CourtPDF uses the same underlying pdf.js engine. Acrobat may keep more layout details, but it requires a paid subscription and uploads. CourtPDF focuses on lightweight, private conversions for text-first documents.

Do you store my PDFs?

No. Files never leave your browser tab. Close the page and everything is gone from memory.

Can I convert scanned PDFs?

Scans need OCR before text can be extracted. Run OCR in your scanner software or a dedicated OCR tool, then convert the searchable PDF with CourtPDF.
