pdf2docx
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.
