Convert PDF to Word Document in Java
In the process of manipulating PDF documents, it’s inevitably that we may encounter a situation where we need to convert PDF to other document formats to meet the needs of different work occasions. In this article, I’m going to demonstrate how to convert a PDF to Word document with simple code.
Tools:
● Free Spire.PDF for Java
● IntelliJ IDEA
Installation
Method 1: Download the Free Spire.PDF for Java and unzip it.Then add the Spire.Pdf.jar file to your project as dependency.
Method 2: You can also add the jar dependency to maven project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>com.e-iceblue</id>
<name>e-iceblue</name>
<url>http://repo.e-iceblue.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>e-iceblue</groupId>
<artifactId>spire.pdf.free</artifactId>
<version>3.9.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
The original PDF document is shown as below:

Java Code
import com.spire.pdf.*;
public class ConvertPDF {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a PdfDocument object
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
//Load the sample PDF file
doc.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\The Scarlet Letter.pdf");
//Save as .doc file
doc.saveToFile("output/ToDoc.doc",FileFormat.DOC);
//Save as. docx file
doc.saveToFile("output/ToDocx.docx",FileFormat.DOCX);
doc.close();
}
}
The output Word document:
