Questions about PDF to Word
Do I need Microsoft Word?
No. Kifuli has its own conversion engine. If Word is installed on a Windows PC, Kifuli can use it for an even closer match to the original layout.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Kifuli works offline. The file is read and converted on your computer and never sent anywhere.
Why does my Word file have no text?
The PDF is probably a scan, which is a picture of a page. Use Make scans searchable to read the text first, then convert the searchable PDF.
