PDF to Word Arabic Converter

Arabic PDFs often break when converted: letters come apart, lines run left to right, or table columns flip. This converter writes right-to-left paragraphs and tables into the DOCX, so when you convert Arabic PDF to Word the text stays in reading order and is ready to edit. It works with PDFs that contain real text; scanned pages need OCR first.

Good to know

  • To check whether your PDF has real text, try selecting a word in your PDF viewer. If you can't, it's a scan and needs OCR.
  • Mixed Arabic and English documents are supported. Check lines that contain English terms or numbers, since their position inside a right-to-left sentence can shift.
  • If the Arabic font used in the PDF isn't installed on your computer, Word shows a substitute. Install the font, or pick one common Arabic font for the whole document.
