PDF to Word is a new converter for document files that is still in the beta stage and is open for free to any one to join and try this tool.

The new tool which you can join its beta program here includes the following features according to mentioned in the tool main website:

Text & Fonts:

Text formatting. Retain the same size and color as the original text.

Bold & italics. Retain bold and italic formatting wherever used.

Maintain rotated text. Keep text correctly rotated, irrespective of its orientation.

Hyperlinks. Retain active hyperlinks.

Ligatures. Easily convert all ligatures, such as fi, ft, ff, and more.

Multi-language text support. Accurately convert all Unicode-based text, in any LTR (left-to-right written) language.

Retain font appearance. When a PDF file uses a font not installed on your system, we’ll replace it with the best alternative font.

Advanced font handling. When PDF files comprise text that has been custom font encoded, we use advanced OCR-based technology to extract text, not possible with other PDF-to-Word converters.


Paragraph & Page Layout

Proper paragraphs. Generate Microsoft Word files with correctly formatted and easy-to-edit paragraphs.

Justification & alignment. Maintain the correct alignment for paragraphs – left, right, centered, or fully justified.

Bullet and numbered lists. Ensure the layout and indenting of bulleted and numbered lists mirrors the original PDF.

Columns. Reproduce multi-column text layouts using Microsoft Word’s built-in Column tools.

Headers/footers. Detect and recreate headers and footers.

Tables

Convert tables. Turn tabular content into editable tables.

Advanced table detection. Detect and accurately convert complex tables that normal converters can’t, including tables without borders and cell formatting.

Re-use tables. After converting your PDF files, copy and paste tables into other applications such as Microsoft Excel, Google Spreadsheets, OpenOffice, and more.

Images

Broad image support. Easily convert all types of images, including pictures, screenshots and photos, with complete support for the PDF specification’s image filters.

Scalable charts, graphs, diagrams and vector images. Convert vector-based images into scalable objects in Microsoft Word, wherever possible.

Microsoft Word drawing shapes. Re-use graphics (originally Shapes and SmartArt) in Microsoft Word.

Transparency. Accurately retain transparency in images.

Backgrounds. Convert background images and ensure they remain behind the primary page content.

Effects.. Retain the look of effects like textures, patterns, shadows, and mirroring.

Order content. Correctly stack images and text in front or behind other elements so they appear the same as in the PDF file.
