Opening a PDF directly inside of Google Docs is useful if you are trying to extract
and edit the text and you aren’t worried about the formatting.

Your Doc will contain the content of the PDF, but it will be unorganized and
images are unlikely to format as you want them to.

1. Go to your Google Drive > New > File Upload.

2. When the PDF has uploaded to your Drive, right click and select
Open with > Google Docs.

Convert PDF to Google Docs with accurate formatting

Need to convert PDF to Google Docs without losing formatting? Convert the PDF
to a Word document before opening in Docs. We recommend using this method
to convert your files in a way that keeps as much original formatting as possible.

With iLovePDF, you can choose between normal conversion or OCR. Without OCR
the tool is extremely accurate, but if you wanted even more accuracy then
convert using OCR. This will scan the document and its images to create editable
text from the original content.
