Hi everyone, my name is Kevin and today I want to show you how you can convert a PDF file into a Word file. Its easier than you think, and as full disclosure, I work at Microsoft. OK, so here I am on my desktop, and I have a file called name.pdf. Im going to go ahead and open this. This is just a sample resume file that I found online, and it has things like a photo. You have some text in here. You could insert your name, so its kind of a somewhat complex PDF because it has graphics, and it has text.

If you havent installed any other software, you are probably already viewing PDFs in Preview because its the built-in and default app for viewing PDFs on most Mac computers. Within this app, you can try exporting the file as a Word file.
Preview is the default PDF application for Mac, but it fails to let you edit a PDF file in the same way you would a word document or text file. For example, lets say you download an article online, and it opens in Preview. You cannot convert it to Word unless you find a third-party application to do that for you.
