PDF to Word

Turns the PDF into a Word document you can open and edit in any word processor, keeping headings, paragraphs, lists and tables as real, editable formatting rather than pictures of them. Converting needs a server, so the file is sent over an encrypted connection, converted, and the copy there is deleted as soon as the result is sent back, unless you are signed in and asked to keep it.

Yes. Converting to .docx needs a server, so this file is sent over an encrypted connection. The copy there is deleted as soon as the result is sent back, unless you are signed in and asked to keep it. OCR PDF, eSign, the editor’s preserve-mode download, and the other file-format conversions all use a server too; the other fifteen tools do not.
