How to Convert PDF Files to Word or Excel in iOS and Android [Easy Way]

Twenty and something years ago, Adobe developed a one a kind file format with a huge potential for secure file transfer and storage. This is of course the Portable Document Format, better known as the PDF. Over the course of those years the PDF format became one of the most used for transferring files via Internet, as well as offline.

Several years before this universal format appeared, Microsoft released MS Word and Excel which were at that time the most technologically advanced programs for editing documents and tables, and are still among the most widely used formats for work and academic purposes. However, Excel and Word fail at what the PDF provides – the ability to be opened and viewed on all operating systems and computing platforms with unchanged formatting. So, it seems that the strengths of .DOC and .XLS files (easy editability) are PDF’s weaknesses, and PDF’s strengths (universal formatting and non-editable nature) are what the two Microsoft formats lack, all of which makes these file formats very compatible. Business professionals frequently use them interchangeably, depending on what they intend to do with the file.

For example, sometimes you will have to present a contract or an idea to a possible partner, and you could find yourself in trouble if the file you are showing is not editable. Why? Mistakes happen, and if they’re not corrected on time, it can lead to a disaster really fast.

That is why it is always useful having an app that can help you, and that you can count on 24/7 to do all your file conversions for you. Introducing PDF to Word, state of the art conversion mobile app developed for people who need these types of interventions on the spot.
