Get an editable Word doc back from your PDF

Tables stay as tables. Columns stay as columns. Even scanned pages come back as real text you can edit. The .docx you get is a proper Word document — not a wall of unformatted text you have to clean up.

Convert this PDF to an editable .docx. The pages are scanned, so run OCR first, then rebuild the layout faithfully — keep the tables as Word tables, preserve the two-column sections, match the original headings and font sizes. Flag any pages where OCR confidence is low so I can review them.

Layout fidelity, not text extraction

Most "PDF to Word" tools give you a wall of unformatted paragraphs. Vecbase Agent rebuilds the document — tables stay tables, columns stay columns, fonts get matched.

How it works

Step 01

Drop your PDF

Regular PDFs or scans — either works. Vecbase looks at each page and figures out whether the text is already there or needs to be read off the image.

Step 02

Tell Vecbase how you'll use it

One sentence is enough — "I need to edit the tables", "I'm pasting this into Notion", "pull the tables out as Excel". The output adapts to what you're doing next.

Step 03

Download the .docx

Usually 10–40 seconds. Long scanned PDFs can take 1–2 minutes. The file also lands in your Drive — open it in Word, Pages, or Google Docs.

Why Vecbase for this

Looks like the original, not a text dump

Tables come out as real Word tables you can edit cell by cell. Two-column layouts stay two-column. Heading sizes match. Fonts get mapped to the closest match on your computer — not flattened to one block of Calibri.

Scans come back as real text

For pages that are just images, Vecbase reads the text off the picture before rebuilding the document. Pages where it isn't 100% sure get flagged for you — so you know exactly where to look.

Every conversion is saved to your Drive

Source PDF and the new .docx both land in your private Drive. Re-download any time, share by link, or hand the .docx to Vecbase for the next thing — no more "where did that file go".

Do a whole folder at once

Like how one file turned out? Save those settings. Point Vecbase at a folder in your Drive and it'll work through every PDF in there overnight — same settings, same look, every file.

Frequently asked

Yes. The Agent detects image-only pages, runs OCR in the sandbox (Tesseract + layout-aware pipeline), and then rebuilds the document. Mixed PDFs — some pages native text, some scanned — are handled page by page.
