I have received a lot of PDF documents that I wish to convert to text formats such as docx/doc/odt.

I know there are some online tools that will do it for you, but some content may be sensitive with people’s names and addresses and I’m not sure I can trust these websites.

Are there software that will convert a PDF to odt?

Things I know and tried:

  1. Asked a friend to open PDF in Microsoft Word: Their license expired last month, so it doesn’t let you save the file!

  2. Tried to do the same on my LibreWriter: It doesn’t support that format.

  3. Tried to open in LibreDraw: untenable as I want to type more things in the document.

P.S: I use Linux, but reckon solutions for platforms would be fine.

    I have tried it a few times in the past to convert latex to odt. It didn’t work very well for me and the work flow isn’t very extensible when working with multiple documents (at least in my very limited experienced nice).

    Maybe it has become better now??

      It works fine just the text would not be in the same format but the text should be fine
