My supervisor told me that for revised version we need to have the word file. However, I dont know how to do that. If I use grindeq then the figures are missed. Also, when I change pdf to word in any software it is not ideal and there are some inconsistency. Any idea?

    some online converters can do it somehow accurately... I don't know which right now... I just wanted to say to disable hyphens before the conversion and possibly no headers/footers and page numbers too (for better results)... Add them through word – koleygr Sep 05 '22 at 15:05

    Do you only have the PDF, or do you have the LaTeX source? If you really must convert a PDF, calibre's ebook-convert or poppler's pdftohtml (Word can import HTML) are the best free software solutions I've tried, but I doubt they'll do very well with equations either. If you have the source, then try both pandoc and make4ht (to odt format which Word can open), or as a last resort, latex2rtf (again Word can read rtf). – frabjous Sep 05 '22 at 17:08

    How large is the Word document, in terms of pages, number of drawings, tables etc.? Many times the fastest way is doing it manually, i.e. obtaining plain-ASCII first, assigning formats etc. – MS-SPO Sep 05 '22 at 19:12
  • @frabjous I have both – Ahmad Turani Sep 06 '22 at 07:55
  • can you please let me know how to use latex2rtf after download it?! I could not find the latex2rtf-x.x.x_win.exe – Ahmad Turani Sep 06 '22 at 09:04
  • I use linux and get the binaries from my distro's package manager. I don't have access to a Windows machine at the moment, but it looks like the sourceforge page only distributes the source code. There's a winmake.bat batch file in the tarball that I would guess compiles the code to create the .exe file on Windows, but of course you'd need a C compiler. Also see the README.DOS file. But it looks like the binary is available on CTAN as well. – frabjous Sep 06 '22 at 15:20
  • There are some other options mentioned on the TeX FAQ page on converting between formats as well. – frabjous Sep 06 '22 at 15:23
