The short answer
PDF Coast converts PDF to Word on your own PC. Open the PDF, choose Convert at the top of the window, then Microsoft Word. You get a .docx with real paragraphs, tables, headers and footers, not a picture of each page. The document is never uploaded. Office export is part of PDF Coast Pro, a one-time purchase, with a 14-day free trial.

Questions
Is PDF to Word free?
Office export is part of PDF Coast Pro, a one-time purchase with no subscription. You can try it free for 14 days without a payment method. Exporting the text of a PDF, or saving pages as pictures, is free.
Do I need Microsoft Word installed?
No. PDF Coast writes the .docx itself. The file opens in Word, LibreOffice or Google Docs.
What about a scanned PDF?
A scan has no text until it is recognized. Run Recognize text (OCR) first, then export to Word.
How much does PDF Coast Pro cost?
Pro is a one-time purchase of US$26.49, with no subscription and no renewals. Microsoft Store shows the price in your own currency before you confirm, and you can try every Pro tool free for 14 days first.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. PDF Coast opens and saves the file on your own computer, and works with the internet switched off. Nothing about the document is sent anywhere.
