Kruti Dev PDF to Unicode Word
A generation of Indian documents — government orders, court filings, typing-institute files — was typed in Kruti Dev and DevLys fonts. Those files look like Hindi, but underneath they store scrambled Latin codes that only render correctly with the exact font installed. Copy the text, search it, or open it on a phone, and you get gibberish.
This converter detects the legacy encoding automatically and recovers it as real Unicode Devanagari — inside the document, with the layout preserved. No pasting text into a box line by line: upload the PDF, download a Word file whose Hindi is actually Hindi at the data level. It works in every app, on every device, forever.

The recovery runs inside TrueLayout, the identical-and-editable conversion mode: designed pages (certificates, letterheads) come back looking like the original with the decoded Hindi as editable text in place. Mixed Hindi-English documents are handled — each line keeps its own script.
Unlike paste-text converters, nothing is retyped and nothing is lost in transit: the whole document converts at once, formatting included, in a private workspace that purges itself within 24 hours.
Kruti Dev to Unicode — questions
Which legacy fonts are supported?
The Kruti Dev family and DevLys (which shares its layout). The font is detected automatically from the PDF — you don't have to know which one your document uses.
Do I need Kruti Dev installed?
No. That's the point — the output is standard Unicode Devanagari that renders everywhere without any special font.
Does the layout survive?
Yes. Conversion runs in TrueLayout mode: text is placed at its exact position, size, and color, and graphics, seals, and watermarks are preserved.
Is my document kept private?
Yes — no account, an isolated per-browser workspace, and permanent deletion within 24 hours. Government and legal documents deserve nothing less.
