When I looked at my converted file, which should have appeared in Word, it was gibberish. What happened?

Hi Johnb81773656,

It is possible the issue is happening as the original file is corrupted.

Please confirm if it happens with all the PDF or a particular one and how was the the PDF originally created.

Also, you may refer to the thread in the link below for more information on the same:

Thanks,
