PDF to Word
PDF to Word is best when a text-based PDF needs to become editable again for revision. Kona extracts readable text, builds a Word-compatible file, and saves the result into Documents for signed-in users.

Public pages explain the workflow; the signed-in workspace runs it.
This page is written for search and discovery. The actual file work happens in the signed-in PDF workspace so preview, versions, sharing, and job history stay in one place.
How it works
Understand the job here, then finish it inside the workspace.
The public route stays simple on purpose: explain the use case, show the output, and route signed-in users into the workspace where the file can be previewed, edited, versioned, and shared.
What this route does
Creates an editable text-first output for downstream revision
Jobs land in the same ledger as other document operations
Pairs well with OCR for scanned source documents
Workflow in the app
01
Upload the PDF
02

Signed-in workspace
Open the file once, then keep every action attached to the same document.
What happens after login
Upload the source file into the document library.
Open the file in the full-screen PDF workspace.
Run the action against the saved document directly.
Keep versions, outputs, and share links tied to that same file.
Why this is simpler
No duplicate public-vs-private execution flows to learn.
The workspace runs actions against the saved file, not a throwaway upload.
Job history and version history stay readable from the same document.
