What you get

  • With Microsoft Word installed and activated, Crustify uses Word's own PDF conversion, which keeps the layout: columns, tables and pictures.
  • Without Word, you get the text in reading order with headings, paragraphs and lists, ready to edit, though not the original layout.
  • Contracts, statements and reports never leave your PC.
  • Each Word is saved next to its original, with the same name.
  • Your original file is never changed. If the new name is taken, Crustify adds (1), (2) and so on.
  • Converts many files at once, each into its own new file.

About the formats

PDF Portable Document Format

Looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, papers and e-tickets come as PDFs. That same fixed layout makes PDFs hard to edit or to reuse text and pictures from.

Word Word document (DOCX)

Microsoft Word's format since 2007, and the standard for documents you edit and send back and forth. It opens in Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice, but can look different on each, so finished documents usually go out as PDF.

Questions

PDF to Word, answered.

Do I need Microsoft Word?

No, but it helps. With Word, the layout is kept. Without it, you still get all the text with headings and lists in a DOCX.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

A scanned page is a picture of text. For those, convert to TXT or Markdown: Crustify reads the text with Windows' built-in text recognition, offline.

Is Crustify free?

You can use everything free for 7 days, with no key or card. After that it's ₹49 once for a lifetime licence on up to 2 PCs. No subscription.
