    pdf2docx

    Artifex

    pdf2docx is a Python library that uses PyMuPDF to extract data from PDF files, parse their layouts according to rules, and generate corresponding .docx files via python-docx. It supports conversion of text, images, tables, and other structural elements; it includes tools to extract tables, handle formatting, and preserve layout as much as possible. It offers both a command-line interface and a graphical user interface. The internal architecture is modular; it includes packages for handling pages, layout, tables, images, shape paths, text spans/blocks, and other elements, enabling fine control over how PDF content is mapped into Word documents. Developers can use the API for batch conversions or integrate it into workflows; there's documentation on installation (from PyPI or source), usage, and technical details of layout-parsing, table extraction, and internal modules. The project is open source, hosted on GitHub, and made available under its license with no warranty.

    Expected Behavior

    There are several popular free HTML-to-PDF libraries including wkhtmltopdf, PhantomJS, and Chrome Headless / Puppeteer.

This fundamental difference has a tremendous impact on PDF functionality such as page breaks, headers and footers, and variable page sizes. Our conversion engine provides layout and styling options (including CSS Paged Media support) that the open-source PDF engines simply cannot match. Additionally, as a cloud-based API, we provide professional support, instant scalability, and guaranteed reliability without the costs of long-term maintenance for these libraries and their infrastructure.
