Compression
Pages are redrawn as images, so text stops being selectable. Keep the original if you need to search it later. With a target size, quality and resolution are lowered step by step until the file fits.

Placement
This is a visual signature placed on the page, the same as signing a printout — not a cryptographic certificate.
Output
Only the text is kept, in paragraphs with a page break between pages. Scanned PDFs have no text — turn them into images and let the assistant read them.

How to convert a PDF to Word
- Drop the PDF on the box above.
- Choose Word (.doc) or Plain text (.txt).
- Press Convert and download, then open the file in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.
What you get
A .doc file that opens in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice, with the text of each page in paragraphs and a page break between pages. Layout, tables and images are not rebuilt — this is for editing and reusing the words. Fonts are not carried over either, so headings and body text arrive in one plain style that you can format again in Word.
Getting clean text
It works best on PDFs made by software: a document exported from Word, a bank statement downloaded from net banking, a circular or a research paper. Two-column pages, such as journal articles and newspapers, can come out with the columns joined line by line, and headers and footers repeat on every page, so read through before you edit.
Hindi and other Indian languages
Devanagari and other Indian scripts come through when the PDF stores real Unicode text. Many older Hindi documents, though, were typed in legacy fonts such as Kruti Dev, which store English letters drawn to look like Hindi. Their text comes out as a jumble of Latin characters and needs a Kruti Dev to Unicode converter before it can be edited.
Scanned PDFs
A scan is a picture, so it has no text to extract. Some scanner apps, such as Adobe Scan, add a hidden text layer when they save the PDF; if you can select words in the file, it will convert directly. Otherwise convert it to images with PDF to JPG, then attach them to the assistant and say “read the text” — it reads English and Hindi.
Plain text
Choose “Plain text” for a .txt file, handy for pasting into e-mails or the Word Counter.
Questions
Will tables stay as tables?
No — table cells come through as lines of text. Complex layouts need a desktop converter.
Does it work with Hindi PDFs?
Yes, if the PDF has real text rather than scanned images.
Is it uploaded?
No, the text is extracted in your browser.
