How to Convert PDF Files to Word, Excel and PowerPoint

Last Updated on March 27, 2020 by Amar Ilindra 2 Comments

According to stats on Microsoft’s website, more than 1.2 billion people use MS Office for work or private purposes. The popularity of Microsoft’s software for data analysis, creating presentations and word processing is unsurpassed even by OpenOffice, one of the most popular open-source alternatives to MS Office.

As we know, MS Office suite is packed with neat features. Users can perfectly format their book manuscripts in Word, create professional-looking presentations in PowerPoint, and analyze complex data in Excel spreadsheets. They can also choose from a variety of helpful templates that the software provides for quick document creation.

When sharing digital files created in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, people usually print them to PDF first. That’s the standard, professional way of ensuring the document’s formatting stays intact when opened on a different computer. The PDF is only a medium that safely transfers information.

However, when it comes to modifying received information in a PDF, business professionals usually have another type of software at hand – a PDF converter. PDF conversion tools are often necessary because it is otherwise difficult to work with data trapped inside the PDF.

One such tool that encompasses all main features that a PDF user might need is the recently released Able2Extract PDF Converter 9. It offers to create and securing PDFs, and a wide range of conversion options, but it is most commonly used for converting PDFs into popular MS Office documents. The process is easy and adjusted for any computer user, amateur or tech-savvy.

The following three tutorials will show users how to quickly turn their PDF files to editable files.

Convert PDF to Word

First, download and install Able2Extract 9.

  1. Open a PDF by clicking on the Open button, or File > Open

As you can see, you also have the option of saving your file as RTF, or leaving the default setting, which will allow the software to save your document either as .doc or .docx, depending on your MS software version.

Convert PDF to Excel

The process of converting PDFs to Excel is the same as in the previous tutorial, up to the point when you’re choosing your output format. Instead of Word, you’ll choose Excel

This will prompt you to choose whether to automatically convert the file, or customize your PDF to Excel option. Customization is recommended for complex files

If you check the Show Preview option, you’ll be able to see what your converted document will look like after customization. This option is very useful for spreadsheet users who are working with a large amount of data.

Convert PDF to PowerPoint
