It offers features like text orientation, direction, and font attributes. Document files, such as Microsoft Word, PDF, RTF, ODT, and TXT, are essential for various sectors like academia, commerce, research, and publishing. PDF files are flexible, compatible across platforms, and can be viewed on multiple operating systems.
Convert a PDF to a Document using ‘pdf2docx’ library
The code snippet converts a PDF file to a DOCX file using the ‘pdf2docx’ library, initializing the conversion process with the ‘Converter’ function. The ‘convert()’ method is invoked on the ‘cv’ object, and the ‘close()’ method is called to terminate the conversion.
- Python3
# Import the required modules
from pdf2docx import Converter
# Keeping the PDF's location in a separate variable
pdf_file = r"C:\Users\DELL\Desktop\INTERNSHIP\DSA GEEEKSFORGEEKS.pdf"
# Maintaining the Document's path in a separate variable
docx_file = r"C:\Users\DELL\Desktop\INTERNSHIP\DSA GEEEKSFORGEEKS.docx"
# Using the built-in function, convert the PDF file to a document file by saving it in a variable.
cv = Converter(pdf_file)
# Storing the Document in the variable's initialised path
cv.convert(docx_file)
# Conversion closure through the function close()
cv.close()
Output:
