Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my converted Word document contain images instead of editable text?
This usually happens when the original PDF is a scanned document or was created from images rather than native text. To extract editable text from these files, you need to use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature during the conversion process.
How long does it take to process a refund for a WPS subscription?
Once the support team initiates the refund, it typically takes 3-7 business days for the funds to reflect in your account, depending on your bank or payment provider. Very recent purchases may have a slight initial delay before they can be refunded.
How can I improve the formatting quality when converting PDFs to Word?
To improve conversion formatting, ensure your source PDF is clear and properly structured. If using WPS Office, select the correct conversion mode (e.g., prioritizing editability vs. layout retention) and always enable OCR for image-based PDFs.
