Converting from PDF to Word works best with files that are mostly text—for example, business, legal, or scientific documents

For example, sometimes images may look okay on your screen, but they can come out fuzzy when printed using the incorrect art file or low resolutionWhen setting up your artwork space and inserting images, using a Dots Per Inch (DPI) setting of at least 300 is required to ensure quality and clarity

PDF files for printing are recommended because PDF documents have the ability to preserve high-quality artwork while keeping the file size down making it the ideal format for printingCommon PDF Issues & How to Fix Them Although PDFs are the most reliable and recommended file format for printing, there are still a few common problems designers make when preparing the file for printLuckily, we’ve put together the most common issues and tips on how to fix them: PDFs - Bleeds and Margins 1

Be sure to export your PDF file with bleed included when preparing it to send to your printerBut when you open a PDF file in Word, it might not look exactly the way it looked as a PDF

If the PDF contains mostly charts or other graphics, the whole page might show up as an imageWhen that happens, the text can’t be edited
