如何在Java中将pdf转换为doc文件

Question

need to convert a pdf file to a doc file. I found different type of example to generate pdf file but not got pdf to doc.

Answer 1

What your asking is actually very difficult

I recommend you start here and look for a good parsing library. then you would have to write it out in .doc format. Inevitably a lot of the formatting and extra information would be lost. it would be a lot easier to output to docx format, but i assume thats not what your looking for.

Answer 2

I see few possible solutions:

1. Davisor Publishor 6.2 probably can be used, but it is commercial, and seems that generates only txt from pdf... just have a look

2. parse pdf with iText , and then generate doc with Apache POI - another way to try (free one ;)

3. look for command line tools, like Convert PDF To DOC and execute them from java

Otherwise take a look at Con's answer, there is a link to the list with java pdf processing libraries, maybe some library can do it directly, or can be used to parse pdf (better than iText), and then just use Apache POI to generate doc. Hope it helps ;)
