Reforge: PDF to DOCX Made Easy

ReForge — PDF to formatted text, rebuilt in your browser

Drop in a PDF and get your text back with the formatting intact — bold, italics, paragraph breaks, headings, and approximated fonts — not the flattened wall of text you get from copy-paste.

ReForge reads the actual page geometry to rebuild structure: it splits two-page print spreads back into single pages, strips running heads and page numbers, and preserves your styling. Export straight to a real Word .docx, copy clean for Google Docs, or grab raw HTML.

Everything runs locally in your browser. Your file is never uploaded — nothing leaves your tab.

Built for people recovering documents they own or have the right to convert — like getting your own published book back out of a print PDF.

What it does:

• Rebuilds bold, italic, paragraphs, and headings from the source
• Splits two-page print spreads into single pages
• Strips headers and folios (toggleable)
• Exports to Word .docx, Google Docs, or HTML
• 100% client-side — no upload, no account, no tracking

A 90% head start, not a finished manuscript — cleaner source PDFs (real text, not scans) rebuild closest to the original. Scanned/image PDFs need OCR first.
