PDF Conversion Troubleshooting

If PDF to Word returns poor output

Check whether the source is scanned. CalmPDF's current PDF to Word tool does not run OCR, so image-only pages cannot become editable text.

If Word to PDF changes layout

Complex DOCX styling (custom fonts, floating objects, tracked changes) can shift in browser-based rendering. Simplify styles, accept tracked changes, and retry.

If conversion fails completely

Retry with a smaller file, especially on mobile. Conversion runs in browser memory, so large documents can fail on low-memory devices.
