Python 3 Script to Convert PDF Document to Microsoft Word DOCX File Using pdf2docx Library

Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be using the pdf2docx library to export the pdf document into microsoft word docx file in python. All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to install the below library using the pip command as shown below

pip install pdf2docx

And after that you need to create the app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

import os
from pdf2docx import Converter

# Define the input and output file paths
pdf_file_path = 'sample.pdf'
docx_file_path = 'output.docx'

# Create a PDF to DOCX converter object
converter = Converter(pdf_file_path)

# Convert PDF to DOCX
converter.convert(docx_file_path)

# Close the converter
converter.close()

# Check if the conversion was successful
if os.path.exists(docx_file_path):
    print('Conversion completed!')
else:
    print('Conversion failed!')

import os

from pdf2docx import Converter

# Define the input and output file paths

pdf_file_path = 'sample.pdf'

docx_file_path = 'output.docx'

# Create a PDF to DOCX converter object

converter = Converter(pdf_file_path)

# Convert PDF to DOCX

converter.convert(docx_file_path)

# Close the converter

converter.close()

# Check if the conversion was successful

if os.path.exists(docx_file_path):

print('Conversion completed!')

else:

print('Conversion failed!')

Here you need to replace the paths of the input pdf file and the output docx file.
