Frequently Asked Questions
Native PDFs contain selectable text that can be directly extracted, resulting in 95-98% accuracy and perfect formatting preservation. Scanned PDFs are essentially images requiring OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing, achieving 85-95% accuracy depending on scan quality. Our system automatically detects the PDF type and applies the appropriate conversion method.
Our advanced table detection algorithm identifies table structures, cell boundaries, and merged cells with 94% accuracy. The system preserves formatting including borders, shading, and alignment. For extremely complex tables with irregular structures, manual review may be needed, but most business and academic tables convert seamlessly.
Yes, we support password-protected PDFs with user password authentication. Simply upload the PDF and enter the password when prompted. We support both user passwords (for opening) and owner passwords (for editing restrictions). Documents with print/copy restrictions can typically be converted once the correct password is provided.
When the original PDF uses standard system fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, etc.), these are preserved exactly. For custom or proprietary fonts, our system performs intelligent font substitution using the closest available system font. Font sizes, bold, italic, and color formatting are maintained. Enterprise users can upload custom font libraries for exact matching.
External hyperlinks (URLs) are preserved and remain clickable in the converted DOCX document. Internal bookmarks and cross-references are converted to Word's native bookmark system when possible. Table of contents with hyperlinks is reconstructed to maintain navigation functionality. Complex internal linking may require manual verification after conversion.
Conversion time depends on document complexity and type. Native PDFs process at approximately 2-5 pages per second, while scanned documents requiring OCR process at 1-2 pages per second. A typical 10-page business document converts in 15-30 seconds. Large documents (100+ pages) are processed in parallel chunks for optimal speed.
