PDF to Word on Mac
Macs read PDFs beautifully and convert them to Word not at all — Preview has no such export. The browser conversion does: PDF in, editable DOCX out, whether the Mac runs Word, Pages or neither. Free with fair daily limits.

The missing macOS feature
No built-in Mac tool produces editable Word from a PDF — copy-paste from Preview loses structure instantly. The conversion delivers a real DOCX that opens in Word for Mac, Pages (which imports DOCX) or the web editors.
Scans included
Scanned PDFs route through free OCR first — recognition builds the editable text, then the DOCX lands in Downloads with a proofread owed to names and numbers.
