How to convert a PDF to RTF online

1

Upload the PDF you want to convert

Drag your file or click to select it from your computer.

2

The server converts it with Calibre

3

Download your RTF file

As soon as the conversion finishes, you download your document in RTF and the original PDF is deleted from the server.

Why convert your PDFs to RTF on PDFDocks?

Sometimes you need to edit PDF text again in a regular word processor, and RTF format is compatible with virtually any writing program, from Word to free alternatives. The conversion requires uploading the file to our server because RTF generation is done by Calibre, which cannot run solely with JavaScript in your browser. Your file is automatically deleted right after the conversion.

Will all formatting transfer to RTF?

+

The file is uploaded to our server because it's necessary to process it with Calibre, but it's deleted immediately after the conversion.

Does it work well with scanned PDFs?

+

It works best with text-based PDFs. With scanned documents the result may be poor, since Calibre needs to be able to read the content.

Do I need to create an account to use this tool?

+

Typically a few seconds.

Why does this tool upload the file?

+

Because generating an editable RTF from a PDF requires Calibre, which can only run on a server.

Is the resulting RTF editable in any word processor?

+

Yes, RTF is a format compatible with virtually any word processor, from Word to free alternatives.

How long does the conversion take?

+

Usually a few seconds, though it may vary depending on the file size and server load at that moment.
