Will this work on a scanned PDF?

Not directly — scanned pages are images, not text, so there's nothing to extract. Pages like that are flagged in the result rather than silently skipped.

Will the Word document look exactly like the PDF?

It preserves the words and paragraph breaks, not the original visual layout, fonts, or images. Think of it as getting the text into an editable form, not a pixel-perfect copy.

Is the converted file a real .docx I can open in Microsoft Word?

Yes — it's a standard .docx file, openable in Word, Google Docs, Pages, or any compatible editor.
