Beginners: Retrieve a PDF document in Word

Solved
Raymond PENTIER -  
Hello,

People who are not specialists in Word or PDF often don’t know where to find software to convert a PDF document they received into Word processing software.

I propose a simple solution, though I’m not sure if it is 100% reliable:

- Use the mouse to select the text from the PDF document
- Click Copy
- Open a Word document and paste

Tell me if it worked for you.

Best regards

    Hello Raymond,

    That will work on a text PDF. But not on a scanned PDF where the content is an image.

    Then for a text PDF, we can simply open it directly in Word.

    Regards
