Best Windows PDF Converter-Convert PDF Image to Word Document
Plan to convert PDF image, or we say image PDF file, to editable Word documents? It is the most widely used way to get text from PDF images. It seems it is pretty easy to do the conversion since hundreds of PDF to Word converters are available on the Internet. However, in fact, it is not as easy as you think of. After all, scanned PDF file is not native PDF, but an image-based PDF, on which, the text is not editable at all. Luckily, I’ve figured out an easy way to convert PDF image to Word documents in Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Windows, hoping it will be helpful.
The core point of converting PDF image to Word document effortlessly is the PDF tool we depend on. With a professional PDF tool, we’ll do less but output a Microsoft Word document with better quality. Acrobat X Pro is one of the PDF too. Taking its price into consideration (more than $ 400 for Mac version, $200 for Windows version), I do not like to recommend it to you. And additionally, it is too professional for individuals. Here I’d like to share my favorite, a cost-effective, 7-in-1 app, iStaysoft PDF Converter Pro with you.
