PDF converter

Document format translator

A PDF converter is software that transforms PDF files into other formats (Word, Excel, image files) or converts other document types into PDFs.

The term covers both standalone applications and online tools: I ran the scanned contract through a PDF converter to make it editable.

Most operate in both directions, though some specialize in one.
