FAQ

PDF to Word, answered.

Will I lose quality converting PDF to Word?

PrivateRemix preserves your content faithfully during the conversion. Text, images and layout are carried across as cleanly as the formats allow.

Will the layout stay the same in a PDF?

Yes — that's the point of PDF. It locks fonts, images and layout so the document looks identical on every device.

Can I edit the text after converting to Word?

Yes. Converting to Word (.docx) produces an editable document you can change in Word, Pages or Google Docs. Complex layouts may need minor tidying.

Do my files get uploaded when I convert PDF to Word?

No. PrivateRemix runs entirely on your Mac using its own processor. Your PDF files never leave the device — there is no server to upload to, and it works fully offline.

Can I convert several PDF files to Word at once?

Yes. Drop in a batch of PDF files and PrivateRemix converts them all locally, saving each new Word next to its original.
