When it comes to Smallpdf vs Adobe, it really comes down to personal preference, needs and budget. Regardless, the process to convert PDF to Word for Mac is relatively quick and painless, taking only a few seconds to finish. On the other hand, our website does not require you to install any software and allows you to import files from Dropbox and Google Drive. Our desktop app offers offline processing, which removes the need to upload files, but also means we can only process those that are locally stored on your computer.
