PDF to Word Conversion FAQ

Will my fonts be preserved in the Word document?
SublimePDF maps PDF fonts to the closest available system fonts. If the exact font isn't installed, a visually similar substitute is used. The document's visual appearance is maintained as closely as possible.
How does the converter handle scanned PDFs?
If your PDF contains a text layer (from OCR processing), that text is extracted and formatted in Word. For image-only scanned PDFs without a text layer, each page is inserted as an image in the Word document.
Can I convert only specific pages from my PDF?
Yes. After uploading, you can select individual pages or a page range to convert rather than processing the entire document.
Will tables and columns convert properly?
SublimePDF uses advanced table detection to identify rows, columns, and merged cells. Most tables convert with accurate structure, though very complex nested tables may need minor manual adjustments.
What's the difference between Preserve Layout and Editable Flow modes?
Preserve Layout keeps the exact visual positioning using text boxes, which looks identical to the PDF but is harder to edit. Editable Flow restructures content into normal Word paragraphs, making it easy to edit with minor layout differences.
