What is the best PDF to Word Doc converter with OCR for Windows 10?

I recently had a scanned PDF that I needed to edit, but standard converters just gave me garbage because the pages were pure images. I ended up using NAPS2 as a PDF to Word converter with OCR to fix this. It runs OCR first to add a searchable text layer, and then you just open the result in Word—works flawlessly.

A guide to PDF to Word converter with OCR:

[ 1 ] Import PDF — Open NAPS2 and import your scanned PDF file.

[ 2 ] Recognize text — Click OCR, grab the language pack, and check "Make PDFs searchable using OCR". This converts the images into actual text.

[ 3 ] Save searchable PDF — Save the processed file as a new PDF (your original stays untouched).

[ 4 ] Convert in Word — Open the new PDF in Microsoft Word and save the result as DOCX.

Keep in mind: NAPS2 handles the OCR first; Word just does the final conversion. It doesn't export DOCX directly, so complex tables or heavily formatted pages might still need manual tweaking.
