PDF to Word for teachers
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets teachers and educators convert a PDF to Word in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Converting PDF to Word rebuilds paragraphs, headings and tables into an editable .docx, and OCRs scanned pages first so there is real text to convert.
Why teachers convert a PDF to Word
Before class a teacher merges a reading and a worksheet into one handout, prints four slides per sheet to save paper, and adds page numbers so students can follow along — all without a watermark.
Built for worksheets. Whether it's worksheets, lesson plans, handouts, Arthize's pdf to word keeps the work inside your private workspace. Grade sheets and student information are sensitive. A private workspace keeps class records off public servers.
What matters when you convert a PDF to Word
A good PDF-to-Word conversion rebuilds document structure instead of dumping text into one block.
Scanned PDFs need OCR before conversion so the words become editable text.
Simple single-column reports convert almost perfectly.
