PDF-HTML conversion to Word

NielsTF · 12-29-2016, 02:01 PM

We are a publisher and testdeveloper for psychological tests. Mostly used for younger people to find the study that fits them.

When the test are ready we make a report in PDF. Some of our customers would like to have that in Word instead of PDF. Who can help me to find the software code what we can build in our own system?

There are several programs that can convert between different formats such as pdf to word etc. It's just a matter of googling for them.

PDF to anything else is rarely very successful unless the PDF is very simple. Since it seems you are responsible for the code I strongly suggest you generate the initial report in almost anything else except PDF. HTML would be my first preference, it's easy to produce from almost any code.

Starting with HTML you can generate pretty much anything you like. Most simply, open up the HTML in MS-Word or LibreOffice/OpenOffice and export out to PDF or whatever else. Any of these office suites can be scripted from code to do this sort of thing. Depending on the language you are using there are many other ways to convert from HTML to something else. If you work with C, C++ or Delphi/Pascal then you can contact me privately for a few suggestions, otherwise an Internet search should show lots of options.
