I want to convert my thesis(pdf) to word, as university requires a softcopy to check plagiarism through Turnitin. I need an app or software which I can trust with my thesis. Note: I have already tried opening pdf directly in word. It is a mess.

    Turnitin can read pdfs – ɪdɪət strəʊlə Jan 17 '20 at 14:30
  • Turnitin will not accept PDF image files, forms, or portfolios, files that do not contain highlightable text (e.g. a scanned file - usually an image), documents containing multiple files or files created with software other than Adobe Acrobat®. – Conscientious Mominate Jan 17 '20 at 14:38

    I use Turnitin here at my job, and several students (not too much!) submit PDFs created with LaTeX and it works ok. Obviously it will not check content in images, but that happens to Word files too. Anyway, if you want the conversion, my suggestion is to generate the PDF and import that in Word. – Rmano Jan 17 '20 at 14:46
  • I have already tried that but that messes up all my figures and tables. My one figure is a combination of many other small figures. What about Pandoc is it safe? – Conscientious Mominate Jan 17 '20 at 15:11
  • Also: are you the first person in your university that has made a thesis in LaTeX? If not, how did other people handle this situation? (to be sure: did you try submitting your LaTeX pdf to Turnitin and make sure that it indeed does not work?) – Marijn Jan 17 '20 at 15:16
  • I don't know about other students but the consultant department specifically asked for the word file. I cant argue with them this the way they are :( – Conscientious Mominate Jan 19 '20 at 15:40
