Import PDF document to Word

The following example shows you how to import a PDF document into a Word document. The loadFromPdf method reads the text content of the PDF file so you can edit it and save it as a .docx, .rtf, .html or other supported format.

import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();

            // Import the PDF document
            doc.loadFromPdf("c:\\test\\input.pdf");

            // Save as a Word document
            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);

            System.out.println("PDF imported successfully!");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

You can also import a PDF document from a stream.

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;

import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();

            try (InputStream stream = new FileInputStream("c:\\test\\input.pdf"))
            {
                doc.loadFromPdf(stream);
            }

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
