In this video tutorial, Dave from Dave's Tech Rescue explains how to convert a PDF document into a Word document using Microsoft Word. He points out that many people may not be aware that if they have Microsoft Word, they already have a built-in PDF converter in the most recent versions of the software. The method he demonstrates works for Word 2013 and any newer versions, including the one that comes with Office 365. Dave suggests searching for "convert" in Google to see various solutions available online, but emphasizes the simplicity of using the built-in converter in Word.
