PDF to Microsoft Word File

[InvaderSumo]

So I wanna start a project, and the project requires me to be able to convert pdf files to microsoft word files.
Does anybody know how i would do that on debian?

an examble would be, lets say i had 1000 pages in the form of a pdf file. But i dont want to use an online service. Id like to be able to install some type of software that allows me to manually convert the pdf to a microsoft word file myself on my debian system. Or do i HAVE to use something like adobe to do this????

Adobe and a lot of other places convert PDF's to OTD for free, once a day (clear cookies in the browser if you have more than one).

Download your document and open in open the document in Libre, Office, etc.

If you really do have hundreds of these...

#!/bin/bash
# Specify the input directory containing your PDF files
input_dir="/path/to/your/pdf/files"
# Specify the output directory for the converted DOCX files
output_dir="/path/to/output/directory"
# Loop through each PDF file in the input directory
for pdf_file in "$input_dir"/*.pdf; do
# Extract the filename without extension
base_name=$(basename "$pdf_file" .pdf)

# Convert the PDF to DOCX
libreoffice --infilter="writer_pdf_import" --convert-to docx "$pdf_file" --outdir "$output_dir"

# Rename the output DOCX file
mv "$output_dir/$base_name.docx" "$output_dir/$base_name.docx"
done
echo "Conversion complete!"
