Scanned documents are usually image-based PDF pieces of digital matter that provide information or evidence. But it is very difficult to work with scanned PDF especially when you want to edit or extract texts from such documents. In such case, you may want to convert scanned PDF to Word document for further editing in Word Processor. In this article, I will tell you how to achieve the goal with a great scanned PDF to Word converter.
Wondershare PDFelement is capable of reproducing the same images, columns, and other non-textual elements as in original scanned document after turning scanned PDFs into Word. The OCR plugin helps you to make scanned documents editable and supports over twenty languages like English, Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese, Romanian, Japanese, Portuguese, Catalan, Spanish, etc.
