It can be solved so easily, just a few lines of Python code to convert PDF to Word

PDF to Word is an old topic, and the difficulty lies in establishing the mapping from PDF element position-based format to Word content-based format.

There is no concept of paragraphs and tables in PDF documents. What PDF to Word needs to do is to parse the "horizontal and vertical lines around the text" in the PDF document into Word's "tables", and convert the "text and a horizontal line below it" Parse to "text underscore" etc.

To be clear: pdf2docx supports Windows and Linux platforms and requires Python version >= 3.6. If you like this article, remember to bookmark, follow, and like.

    file_path = os.getcwd()

    # 遍历所有文件
    for file in os.listdir(file_path):
        # 获取文件后缀
        suff_name = os.path.splitext(file)[1]

        # 过滤非pdf格式文件
        if suff_name != '.pdf':
            continue
        # 获取文件名称
        file_name = os.path.splitext(file)[0]
        # pdf文件名称
        pdf_name = os.getcwd() + '\\' + file
        # 要转换的docx文件名称
        docx_name = os.getcwd() + '\\' + file_name + '.docx'
        # 加载pdf文档
        cv = Converter(pdf_name)
        cv.convert(docx_name)
        cv.close()

Now that we have completed the conversion of pdf to word, this limitation is too great. What if my pc does not have a python environment?

Next, we package the files so that you can convert documents anytime, anywhere

The common packaging method on python is implemented by pyinstaller .

pip install pyinstaller

detailed steps

pyinstaller is a command line tool, the following are the detailed steps

1. cmd switch to the directory of the python file

2. Execute the command pyinstall -F pdfToword.py

After execution, you will find that 3 folders are generated

Among them, the dist folder has the exe file that we have packaged.

3. Double-click the exe to run it successfully. One-click capture and exchange of pdf-word

It's convenient enough~~

That's the end of today's sharing
