How to convert LaTex to Word? Answer1 (easiest and most correct way to convert PF to Word): use adobe online: https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/pdf-to-word.html Answer2: pandoc

Example：

 # in windows terminal
 pandoc main.tex -o main.docx

We need at first download pandoc.exe from https://pandoc.org/installing.html and save the pandoc.exe to the same directory with LaTex files.

Advanced Example；

 pandoc input.tex  --filter pandoc-crossref --citeproc --csl springer-basic-note.csl  --bibliography=reference.bib -M reference-section-title=Reference  -M autoEqnLabels -M tableEqns  -t docx+native_numbering --number-sections -o output.docx

In the above example, the springer-basic-note.csl should be downloaded from https://www.zotero.org/styles?format=numeric and save it to the same directory with pandoc.exe. we can also download other styles like ieee from there.

The above advanced example requires pandoc-crossref which could be installed from: https://github.com/lierdakil/pandoc-crossref/releases
