Converting PDF's to Word

Has anybody integrated / created any capability to convert PDF's to word within a windev app? WD 23 has DocToPDF but not the other way around. We have some users that would like to be able to open a PDF, have it automatically convert to word, and then display it in the new word processing control.

I know there are some commercial command line programs out there but they are not really in my budget

thanks!

Hi Steve,

maybe you can use PdfToText() ?

Hi, there are some fine online solution out there

[pdf2doc.com]
[smallpdf.com]
[www.freepdfconvert.com]
[www.pdfonline.com]
[simplypdf.com]

Mostly referred to:
[itextpdf.com]

A good idea is to convert the pdf to an image first and then do an OCR of it which results in in Word document. Note, that PDF and Word are totally different formats.

Kind regards,
