IPDFToWordLib Interface Reference

LONG PDFtoWord(String inputPdf, String Password, String PageRanges, Integer ConvertStyle, Integer NoGraphics, Integer NoCRLF, Integer RecognizeTables, String OutputFile)

Description:
Convert PDF into DOC file (Microsoft Word format) by page range.
Parameters:
inputPdf : The pdf to be convert to office word format. For example: "d:\file\test.pdf".

Password : password for opening the pdf. If no password, just pass a empty string "".

ConvertStyle: Input 1 or 0.

You can switch between "exact" and "flowing" modes. "Exact" mode preserves exact layout of the original PDF document using frames. Each string of MS Word document is enclosed in a frame that precisely determines its position on page. It makes the resulting document hard to edit. We recommend to use this mode for documents with complex structure only like multiple columns, tables, etc. "Flowing" mode preserves text flow and so the resulting document is easy to edit. Note, that this approach may cause particular layout distortions in comparison with the original PDF document. We recommend to use this mode if you need to edit the resulting MS Word document.

NoGraphics: Input 1 or 0. Select 1 to convert raster pictures and drawing Primitives (lines, curves, polygons Etc.) contained in PDF document.

NoCRLF : Input 1 or 0. By default inserts line breaks if it is necessary to preserve the original layout. Select 1 to forbid inserting line breaks inside paragraphs.
