Do files leave my browser?
Most tools (including PDF merging, signing, compression, and OCR) process files locally. PDF-to-Word uses our self-hosted PDF engine and requires consent before upload. Read the notice for that operation rather than assuming every tool works the same way.
Can I recover a forgotten PDF password?
No. Unlock PDF removes protection when you supply the correct password. It does not crack or recover unknown passwords.
Why does a Word export look different?
PDF uses fixed page positions; Word uses editable paragraphs and document layout. Fonts, columns, tables and spacing can change during conversion. The PDF-to-Word tool is for text-based documents. Use OCR for scans and review its text carefully.
What should I do if a download fails?
Check that the input format matches the tool and that the document opens normally in another application. Try a smaller file, allow browser downloads and retry after any busy response. Keep your original file. If an output downloads, open it and verify its contents before relying on it.
