Using LaTeX -- dealing with reviewers

Question

Regarding students who use LaTeX for writing the thesis or paper. Is there any solution for Generating only .pdf version using LaTeX, as the reviewers I am dealing with are not using LaTeX and I have to convert every .pdf generated in LaTeX to Word to make it easy for them to review and edit it.

is there any way make this process easier?????

PDF is the primary output formats of pdfLaTeX... so, if you're using that, then there should be no question. But other than that, you can use LaTeX (which generates a PS) and then convert to PDF. — Werner, Mar 28 '18 at 22:30
I don't understand your question -- you ask how to generate a .pdf version only and then you say you have to convert the .pdf to Word, so you have the .pdf file then already? — , Mar 28 '18 at 22:38
This is not “primarily opinion-based”. It's a common question that users would have; we should search for duplicates with useful answers. — ShreevatsaR, Mar 28 '18 at 23:50
@ShreevatsaR: The question was (wrongly) edited away from its original and confusing meaning ... Now it is totally reversed — , Mar 28 '18 at 23:52
Example duplicate question: Workflow for converting LaTeX into Open Office / MS Word Format or maybe one of the questions here, though I think the answer today is to use ShareLaTeX or Overleaf, if possible. — ShreevatsaR, Mar 28 '18 at 23:54

I had this issue too, and the best solution that worked for me is as follows: 1. Extract figures as images. 2. Convert latex to html. There are many ways to do (this converts the .tex to .html) 3. Copy and paste to word.

I tried the following technique too but didnt work well fir me. - Adobe acrobat pro for converting pdf to docx or any other converter. This converts the pdf to word. But many times there are many errors in the layout, and unreable/editable text. And creating way too many textboxes which makes it so hard to edit. I suggest trying this first.

Ok! I just tried the acrobat reader website.. The result is perfect for the whole these ... everything as the pdf one. – Thoalfukar Mar 28 '18 at 22:56
