How to Convert PDF to Word on Mac Ventura M2?

What is the best way to convert PDF to Word on Mac Ventura? I tried the free online tools but the output word document is a bit messed up. In addition, I loaded the PDF file into Preview but there is no export option for word, only image formats available.

As I said, Word does not support PDF. Try LibreOffice instead.

Downloaded and installed LibreOffice on my Mac and the export option does not have Word by default, here is the screenshot:


By the way, LibreOffice is too slow on my Mac. Took about 2 minutes to load the PDF file.

Maybe a question for the Microsoft Word Help Community.

Microsoft Word does not support PDF formatted documents. You might try using LibreOffice instead to try to open PDF documents.
