Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a small library ( in C# and VS2003) that accepts a
PDF file and converts it to a word document. During this process all
alignments are to be kept.

Is there a way to deo it through code, I am playing with the
microsoft.office.interop.word dll but importing the PDf into a format
is a bit of a problem.

Any help would be definitiely appreciated.

Thnx.
 
I would look at the open source PDF libraries first. There are quite a few
on SourceForge. Most are aimed at outputting PDF, not inputing, so I am not
100% sure they will fit your needs. The next direction is Adobe or one of
the many third party PDF Libraries. until you have clean source off of the
PDF, you will not get clean output.

If this is a web application, I would shy way from the office libs. Not a
big deal with desktop or console apps, but it is wiser to go with a solution
like WordWriter (OfficeWriter if you need other formats) than it is to use
the Word libs from Microsoft in a web environment.
