Aspose.PDF Get editable Docx from PDF

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi there,
I’m using Aspose for Java (v24.2 for pdf and v24.3 for words) and I’m trying to convert pdf document to docx. Library does that job correctly, more or less, but as result I have Docx document and is somehow non-editable.

Is there a way to configure it to return editable document?

Below is part of my code related to conversion:

           AsposeLicenseLoader.loadAllAvailableLicenses();
            com.aspose.pdf.Document document = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(file.getInputStream());
            
            if (checkIfPdfIsConvertible(document)) {
                log.debug("Start converting document: {} ,from PDF to DOCX", file.getOriginalFilename());
                com.aspose.pdf.DocSaveOptions saveOptions = new com.aspose.pdf.DocSaveOptions();
                saveOptions.setFormat(DocSaveOptions.DocFormat.DocX);
                // Set the recognition mode as Flow
                // saveOptions.setMode(DocSaveOptions.RecognitionMode.Flow);
                // Set the Horizontal proximity as 2.5
                saveOptions.setRelativeHorizontalProximity(2.5f);
                // Enable the value to recognize bullets during conversion process
                saveOptions.setRecognizeBullets(true);

                String fileName = getFilenameForWordDocument(file.getOriginalFilename());
                File temp = new File(Objects.requireNonNull(fileName));
                OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(temp);

Please try to use Flow or EnhancedFlow mode for more efficient conversion.

// Open the source PDF document
        Document pdfDocument = new Document("sample.pdf");
        // Instantiate DocSaveOptions object
        DocSaveOptions saveOptions = new DocSaveOptions();
        // Specify the output format as DOCX
        saveOptions.setFormat(DocSaveOptions.DocFormat.DocX);
        saveOptions.setMode(DocSaveOptions.RecognitionMode.Flow);
        String fileName = "ConvertToDOCX_out.docx";
        File temp = new File(Objects.requireNonNull(fileName));
        try {
            OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(temp);
            pdfDocument.save(outputStream, saveOptions);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
