The conversion from PDF to Word is not flawless, which is why a user may find that some lines and pages break at bizarre points or that there are some inconsistencies in the document once it has been converted from PDF to Word and then opened in Word. To do so, Word converts the PDF file into a file Word can read, open and edit, and then opens it, converting it back to a PDF file when the user saves the changes they make to it. With Word 2013, Microsoft added the ability to open PDF files in Word, edit them and then save them in the PDF file format. Unfortunately that isn’t the case – or at least wasn’t the case, not until Microsoft Word 2013 came into being. PDF files can consist of both text and graphical elements, but how much easier would things be if you could simply open and edit a PDF file in Microsoft Word? Microsoft Word can also be used to create and edit documents that contain both text and graphics, so it would make sense for Word to be able to open PDF files. PDF (Portable Document Format) files are generally viewed in PDF viewers such as Adobe Reader and edited in PDF editing applications such as Adobe Acrobat.
