There are many effective ways to copy text from PDF to word, but the easiest way is to use OCR text recognition like bitwar text scanner.
As everyone knows that the content in the PDF file is unable to edit or change due to the file format, therefore many users will try to copy text from the file by using PDF Converter to convert the PDF to Word format.
Method 1: Adobe Reader Dc on Mac/Windows

Part 1: Acrobat Reader Dc on Mac/Windows

Adobe develops the Acrobat Reader Dc to provide multiple PDF tools for PDF users to edit PDF files more easily and efficiently. Therefore, users can use the software to extract text from PDF, but the price for the software license is quite high.
Step 1: Start the Adobe software and select Select Tool.
Step 2: Please Highlight the Text from the PDF that needs to be copied.
Step 3: Tap on Edit and choose Copy or press Ctrl + C / (Command + C for Mac users) on the keyboard.
Step 4: Open the Word file on Microsoft Word. Right-click and select Paste or press Ctrl + P/ (Command + P for Mac users) on the keyboard.

Part 2: Older Version of Acrobat Reader

Suppose that the Acrobat Reader Dc is an older version, please follow the steps below to copy text from PDF :
Step 1: Open the software and select Graphic Select Tool.
Step 2: Next, go to the menu and tap on the Text Select Tool to extract the text.
Step 3: Select the Edit menu and Take a Snapshot.
Step 4: The Camera Icon will appear in the software and use it to Crop and Extract the text.
Method 2: OCR Text Scanner Besides using the Adobe Acrobat Reader Dc, users also can use the other alternative tool to extract text from PDF, which is the OCR Text Scanner.
Step 1: Open the PDF file and go to the text content page.
Step 2: Launch Bitwar Text Scanner and choose Screenshot OCR.
Step 3: Crop the content and Extract the PDF text.
Step 4: Copy the Result and paste it on the Word file.

Have you ever received a PDF file that you would like to convert to a Word DOC or DOCX format? Typically this is necessary when you have PDF that you want to edit the contents of a bit, maybe a resume or a thesis, but of course the PDF could be more complex. If you're looking to convert a PDF into DOC, DOCX, RTF, or TXT format, we'll cover a few options to get the extraction job done in Mac OS X. This is basically the opposite scenario of converting a Word doc to PDF via Microsoft Office Word app, but it's just as frequently necessary.


First we'll walk through how you can use Google Docs to convert a file to Word format, then we'll who you how you can potentially extract the text from a PDF document which you can then turn into DOC or DOCX on your own. Next, we'll show you a paid solution from Adobe which is a thorough and complex PDF to DOC converter tool that is best used for professional applications, and an alternative native Mac app which offers similar functionality. Finally, we'll cover a more automated method that is an extension of the first text extraction approach, which can convert PDF to text files that you can edit, which is perhaps most appropriate for casual uses and with simple PDF files.
