However, Adobe Reader has more features than other applications. So, I recommend using Adobe Reader here.

Important: When downloading, it’s best to uncheck the following:

• Install the Acrobat Reader Chrome Extension
• Yes, install the free McAfee Security Scan Plus utility to check the status of my PC security. It will not modify existing antivirus programs or PC settings, and

Once downloaded, pay attention to the following steps:

1. Open the PDF file you want to copy using the Adobe Reader application

3. After that, specify the storage location and click Save

4. Open the file that was saved earlier, then copy it to MS Word

Conclusion About How to Copy Paste From PDF to Word

However, PDF files have a different format from MS Word, so some texts cannot be automatically formatted neatly and must be done manually.

For example, the layout of paragraphs that are not neat and do not merge with other paragraphs.

All of this also depends on how the author arranges the pages of the PDF file.

Some intentionally press enter when they reach the page limit, while others just add spaces.

So, if the author presses enter before finishing the paragraph, we must edit it manually to merge it with the relevant paragraph.
