• Auto Save and versions has been a feature of the Mac OS since OS X Lion was released, in the summer of 2011. That’s a long time for a very helpful file versioning system to be available in the Mac, but it remains largely overlooked.
• Solution 3: Checking in Safe Mode. If both the above methods don’t work for you, we can move on and try starting Microsoft Word in Safe Mode. The Safe Mode disables all the add-ins loaded and starts the application with a minimal set of drivers.

Word 365 for Mac is getting what’s called the ‘Edit PDF’ feature, already available in Word for Windows. Don’t get too excited, Word can’t really edit a PDF file and the results might not be what you want.

The ‘editing PDF’ feature is now available to Office for Mac insiders (v 16.29 build 190830 and later).

A simple explanation — your Mac is just not technically fit to run Mojave. According to Apple, macOS 10.14 can be launched only on Macs not older than from 2012. If yours was released earlier — sorry, you’ll have to miss this update. Below is the list of Mac models compatible with Mojave: MacBook (Early 2015.

As we noted back in 2012, when PDF conversion came to Word 2013:

“Behind the scenes, Word 2013 is actually extracting and converting the PDF content into an editable form. That means the original formatting of the document may not always be retained in the Word 2013 version. As usual, the more complex the PDF file, the more likely there’ll be formatting variations.”

Nothing has changed since then. Word 365/2019 still convert the PDF into a Word document with mixed success.  That’s not a complaint, it’s a fact of life that Microsoft glosses over. Any document conversion will have problems and especially from PDF which was never designed as an editable format.

Word’s conversion from PDF can work well, especially if the PDF was made with Word in the first place. However other PDF’s with scanned pages won’t convert in the way people expect.
