For a different slant on conversions, how would I go about taking a pdf and creating a Word doc from it? I have Aspose Words. We have a situation where word processing hands off a word doc to typesetting where they make some changes in a program called INDesign. Typesetting is then supposed to give the modified file back to word processing. This is done with RTF export from INDesign, but the RTF output is very poor with missing characters and no foot or end note links. It even totally strips out the foot notes. INDesign can output to a PDF which contains everything so I was wondering how difficult it would be to use Aspose to convert the pdf to Word.
Hi,
Thank you for considering Aspose.
I am afraid that this feature is not supported neither in Aspose.Pdf nor in Aspose.Pdf.Kit. It is difficult to convert to XML format acceptable by Aspose.Words. Aspose.Words can load documents in XML-WordprocessingML format and Aspose.Pdf.Kit can’t generate XML in this format. I will discuss this issue with developers. If we would have plans to support, we will let you know.
Thanks.

I was mainly wondering how to manually move through the pdf to extract the information in it and push it out to aspose words, also building the document manually. I did not expect that there would be a built in function to do this.
Currently we can only extract text from pdf and this feature is not mature. We can’t extract format info from pdf in short time. I am afraid our pdf components can’t help much for Pdf2Word currently.
