How to Convert PDF to Word Automatically
Set up automatic PDF to DOCX conversion in 5 minutes.
Looking for a way to convert PDF to Word automatically without clicking on each file? This guide shows you exactly how to set up automated PDF to Word conversion using folder monitoring. Once configured, every new PDF you save is converted to DOCX in seconds — no manual work needed.
Step 1: Create a free PDF2DocBot account
Go to pdf2docbot.com and click 'Start Free'. Register with your email — no credit card needed for the free plan. You get 10 conversions per month and 1 watched folder included.
Step 2: Connect your folder source
From the dashboard, click 'Folders' → 'Add folder'. Choose your source: local upload, Google Drive (OAuth), Dropbox via WebDAV, SMB share, or SFTP. For Google Drive, click 'Authorize' and grant access to the specific folder you want to monitor.
Step 3: Configure scan interval and engine
Pick how often the scanner checks for new PDFs: 5 minutes (Pro), 15 minutes, hourly, or daily. Choose a conversion engine: 'Auto' picks the best one per file. Click 'Save'. From this moment, every new PDF in the folder is converted automatically.
Step 4: Drop your first PDF and watch the magic
Save a PDF file in your watched folder. Within the scan interval, PDF2DocBot picks it up, converts it, and (for Drive/SFTP) uploads the DOCX result back to the same folder. Check your dashboard to see the conversion logged.
