Questions and answers
Why does the program ask me to recognize some pages first?
Pages without text are scans. Their text has to be recognized (OCR) before it can go into a Word or Excel file.
Will the result look exactly like the PDF?
A PDF is a fixed layout, so converted documents are close but can need small touch-ups.
Are my files uploaded for conversion?
No. Conversion runs on your computer.
