Have you ever wanted to convert a PDF to Word? Go to nitrocloud

Today I had a colleague come to ask about converting a PDF to Word. She has a few documents that need to be updated and doesn't have access to the source files. This is something that you might want to do once in a while. I had seen this tool before (thanks Chris), so I gave it a try. It was a good chance to test the tool with her.

1. So, I had her sign up for an account in www.nitrocloud.com with her name and email and followed the instructions below.



2. In order to convert, you need to "Add New Document".


3. You can also "Drag & Drop" or "Browse my computer".


4. Once the file is uploaded, you can select "Convert".


5. The next question is the format you want to convert to. You can select "Convert to Word".


6. Once the file has been exported to Word successfully, you can click the "Download Word Document".

7. This is a sample PDF that I converted to Word.


 Notes:

a. You need to confirm your account by clicking the link sent to your email address. The next option is to create a password to start using your Nitro Cloud account. Finally, it asks you if you want to create a profile photo, in case people you collaborate with  or share can more easily recognize you with a profile photo.
b. You can only do 5 conversions for free in one month in the "Basic Plan". If you want to know more about Nitro Cloud, visit their site (www.nitrocloud.com) and see what else they have to offer.
c. This works best when you try to convert a PDF that was created with a word processor like Word.
 


Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!
