[FAQ] Is It Safe to Use Online Google PDF to Word Converters?

A common question that comes up a lot when using an online tool such as the ones above, is whether or not it is safe to use them. After all, Google PDF to Word converters are hosted on a server by an individual or company you know nothing about. Now some of these online tools do claim that they will destroy, wipe, or erase your data after you have made the conversion, effectively keeping the data within the file safe from anyone else but again, you are relying on the individual or company to stay true to their word. For files that do not contain sensitive information, it is more or less safe to use any of the online Google PDF to Word converters, in so long as you are using one from a reputable company and the program is not pirated.

Here are some tips on how to stay safe using Google PDF to Word converters.

• Choose a Google PDF to Word converter that has PDF encryption and decryption options,
• Choose a converter that allows you to set permissions for password protected documents,
• Use a converter that provides redacted options for PDFs,
• Use a converter that allows you to add watermarks to documents.

If you are really worried about your information, you can always find a desktop version of Google PDF to word converter. Simply download the program, scan it for viruses, and then use it in its offline mode or disconnect your internet before making the conversion. This will ensure that no information is being extracted or transported elsewhere.

[Tips] How Can I Copy Text from PDF Without Broken Lines to Microsoft Word?

One of the most frustrating things that individuals working with PDF documents and Word documents come across are the broken lines when you copy and paste from a PDF document to a Word document. Essentially, what happens when you copy a short portion of pure text from a PDF to a Microsoft Word (any version) document, is that you end up with half-sentences of text accompanied by odd spacing. This forces you to delete the extra spacing to get the lines to extend the length of the Word document (into full sentences). This is impractical and takes up so much of your time with regards to formatting. Here is how to fix this!

Step 1: Copy your text from the PDF file and paste it into your Word file like you would normally. This will cause it to format into half-sentences.
Step 2: Highlight or select the entire portion of text that you copy and pasted and hit CTRL + H for Windows and CMD + H for Mac users. This will cause the “Find and Replace” action window to pop up on your screen.

Step 3: In the “Find and Replace” window, click on the “More” button found in the bottom left-hand corner.

Step 4: Now click on the “Special” button and choose the “Paragraph Mark” from the list.

Step 5: From here, choose the “Replace All” button and hit “no” when it asks you if you want to search the rest of the document.
