Hi,


I try to convert my PDF to Doc, but the conversion is only in Textbox mode, i am not sure if there is something missing, but this is my code, can you take a look and let me know how to convert with Flow mode?

package com.pdfconverter;
import java.io.File;
import com.aspose.pdf.Document;
import com.aspose.pdf.SaveFormat;

public class FileConverter {

public String PDFtoDOC(String uploadPath, String fileName) throws Exception {

String convertedFile = "";
String pathConvetedFile = uploadPath + fileName;
Document pdfDocument = new Document(pathConvetedFile);

// remove filename extension
 String fileNameWithoutExten = fileName;
final int lastPeriodPos = fileNameWithoutExten.lastIndexOf('.');


if (lastPeriodPos > 0) {
com.aspose.pdf.DocSaveOptions saveOptions = new com.aspose.pdf.DocSaveOptions();


saveOptions.setMode(com.aspose.pdf.DocSaveOptions.RecognitionMode.Flow);


pdfDocument.save(uploadPath + File.separator + fileNameWithoutExten.substring(0, lastPeriodPos) + ".doc", SaveFormat.Doc);


convertedFile = fileNameWithoutExten.substring(0, lastPeriodPos) + ".doc";


 }

return convertedFile;

}

Hi Bilal,


Thanks for contacting support.

Can you please share some details regarding the issue you are facing i.e. is the conversion through Flow mode is not being completed or you are getting incorrect contents in resultant file or you are getting some exception/error during conversion. Also please share the resource file, so that we can test the scenario in our environment. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Hi,


I mean that the conversion with this parameter: RecognitionMode.Flow is exactly as this parameter: RecognitionMode.Textbox;

The text in the converted doc file result are in many textbox, and what i want is to convert the PDF to Doc with Full text without textbox mode.

I don’t know if there is something missing with my code?

Hi Bilal,


Thanks for your patience. We have further looked into the issue and found that you have created SaveOptions but did not use. Please check following code snippet, it will help you to accomplish the task.

String convertedFile = “”;<o:p></o:p>

String pathConvetedFile = testdata + "PDFNEWJAVA_35179/TERRA+Easy+Dock+Rahmen.pdf";

Document pdfDocument = new Document(pathConvetedFile);

// remove filename extension

String fileNameWithoutExten = "TERRA+Easy+Dock+Rahmen.pdf";

final int lastPeriodPos = fileNameWithoutExten.lastIndexOf('.');

if (lastPeriodPos > 0) {

com.aspose.pdf.DocSaveOptions saveOptions = new com.aspose.pdf.DocSaveOptions();

saveOptions.setMode(com.aspose.pdf.DocSaveOptions.RecognitionMode.Flow);

saveOptions.setFormat(DocSaveOptions.DocFormat.Doc);

pdfDocument.save(c:/pdftest/TERRA+Easy+Dock+Rahmen-FLOW.doc", saveOptions);

convertedFile = fileNameWithoutExten.substring(0, lastPeriodPos) + ".doc";

}
