Did you know that you can also add a PDF into Microsoft Word with Google Docs? Here’s how to do that.

1. Open the PDF in your Google Drive and select Open With Google Docs at the top of your screen.
2. When the file is open in a Google Doc, go to File > Download and select Microsoft Word.
3. Your file will then download in a .docx format. Once that has completed, open it.
4. In Microsoft Word, your file will then open. Sometimes, it might be read-only. If it is, click on Duplicate to begin editing it.

Note that because your PDF will be in .docx format, you’ll have to convert it again. Go to File > Save As > File Format and select PDF from the list of options to do this.
