How can I extract text, images, or tables from a PDF? At some point we've probably all felt stuck when we saved a document as a PDF, needed to edit it, but lost the original file. Thanks to a variety of online PDF to Office Converters, a PDF can be easily converted back to its original Office file.

But what if you want to convert a PDF back to a Microsoft Office format without having to upload it to the web? Available for MacOS and Windows, iLovePDF Desktop provides you with tools to transform PDF documents to DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files quickly offline.

The iLovePDF Desktop App is a perfect solution if you need to convert PDFs, images, and Office files. Not only can you convert PDF to Office, but the app also accepts batch conversion for converting Office to PDF. 

PDF to Word

If you need to edit text from a read-only PDF file, the easiest way is converting it to DOCX format. Once your file is converted, you can add, remove or modify text directly from Microsoft Word.

PDF to Excel

Many businesses need to extract tables from PDF files to then analyze the data in an Excel spreadsheet. With a PDF to Excel Converter, you can transform your PDF into searchable XLSX data instantly.

PDF to PowerPoint

When you're preparing a presentation or speech and need to use information from a PDF, you can convert to PPTX. Converting text to Powerpoint format allows you to create presentation slides easily in no time.
