Universal Converter

Convert a PDF to Word

Universal Converter rebuilds the text, headings, tables and pictures of a PDF as a Word file you can edit. Scanned PDFs are read with text recognition (OCR).

  3. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down, click Open Anyway and enter your password. You only do this once.

Updates: if you allow it when the app first opens, it checks for new versions each time it starts, verifies their digital signature and installs them when you choose.
