Python: Convert PDF to DOC

How to convert a pdf file to docx. Is there a way of doing this using python?

I've saw some pages that allow user to upload PDF and returns a DOC file, like PdfToWord

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • If you have LibreOffice installed

    lowriter --invisible --convert-to doc '/your/file.pdf'

    If you want to use Python for this:

    import os
import subprocess

for top, dirs, files in os.walk('/my/pdf/folder'):
    for filename in files:
        if filename.endswith('.pdf'):
            abspath = os.path.join(top, filename)
            subprocess.call('lowriter --invisible --convert-to doc "{}"'
                            .format(abspath), shell=True)
