Converting a pdf to word document using java - java

I've successfully converted JPEG to Pdf using Java, but don't know how to convert Pdf to Word using Java, the code for converting JPEG to Pdf is given below.
Can anyone tell me how to convert Pdf to Word (.doc/ .docx) using Java?
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import com.itextpdf.text.Image;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
public class JpegToPDF {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Document convertJpgToPdf = new Document();
PdfWriter.getInstance(convertJpgToPdf, new FileOutputStream(
"c:\\java\\ConvertImagetoPDF.pdf"));
convertJpgToPdf.open();
Image convertJpg = Image.getInstance("c:\\java\\test.jpg");
convertJpgToPdf.add(convertJpg);
convertJpgToPdf.close();
System.out.println("Successfully Converted JPG to PDF in iText");
} catch (Exception i1) {
i1.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

In fact, you need two libraries. Both libraries are open source. The first one is iText, it is used to extract the text from a PDF file. The second one is POI, it is ued to create the word document.
The code is quite simple:
//Create the word document
XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument();
// Open the pdf file
String pdf = "myfile.pdf";
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(pdf);
PdfReaderContentParser parser = new PdfReaderContentParser(reader);
// Read the PDF page by page
for (int i = 1; i <= reader.getNumberOfPages(); i++) {
TextExtractionStrategy strategy = parser.processContent(i, new SimpleTextExtractionStrategy());
// Extract the text
String text=strategy.getResultantText();
// Create a new paragraph in the word document, adding the extracted text
XWPFParagraph p = doc.createParagraph();
XWPFRun run = p.createRun();
run.setText(text);
// Adding a page break
run.addBreak(BreakType.PAGE);
}
// Write the word document
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("myfile.docx");
doc.write(out);
// Close all open files
out.close();
reader.close();
Beware: With the used extraction strategy, you will lose all formatting. But you can fix this, by inserting your own, more complex extraction strategy.

You can use 7-pdf library
have a look at this it may help :

PS: itext has some issues when given file is non RGB image, try this out!!

Although it's far from being a pure Java solution OpenOffice/LibreOfffice allows one to connect to it through a TCP port; it's possible to use that to convert documents. If this looks like an acceptable solution, JODConverter can help you.

Convert word to pdf java

I'm trying convert word to pdf, my code is:
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument();
document.createStyles();
XWPFParagraph paragraph = document.createParagraph();
XWPFRun title = paragraph.createRun();
title.setText("gLETS GO");
PdfOptions options = PdfOptions.create();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File("C:/Users/pepe/Desktop/DocxToPdf1.pdf"));
PdfConverter.getInstance().convert(document, out, options);
System.out.println("Done");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I'm getting error:
fr.opensagres.poi.xwpf.converter.core.XWPFConverterException: org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Unexpected end of file after null

I have tried other solutions but doesnt works. I create a java project, if someone can help me or other way to do
This is probably a duplicate of Trying to make simple PDF document with Apache poi. But let's have a complete example again to show how to create a new XWPFDocument from scratch using the latest apache poi 4.1.2 which then can be converted to PDF using PdfConverter of fr.opensagres.poi.xwpf.converter version 2.0.2 and iText.
As told the default *.docx documents created by apache poi lacks some content which PdfConverter needs.
There must be a styles document, even if it is empty.
And there must be section properties for the page having at least the page size set. To fulfilling this we must add some code additionally in our program. Unfortunately this then needs the full jar of all of the schemas ooxml-schemas-1.4.jar as mentioned in Faq-N10025.
And because we need changing the underlying low level objects, the document must be written so underlying objects will be committed. Else the XWPFDocument which we hand over the PdfConverter will be incomplete.
Minimal complete working example:
import java.io.*;
import java.math.BigInteger;
//needed jars: fr.opensagres.poi.xwpf.converter.core-2.0.2.jar,
// fr.opensagres.poi.xwpf.converter.pdf-2.0.2.jar,
// fr.opensagres.xdocreport.itext.extension-2.0.2.jar,
// itext-4.2.1.jar
import fr.opensagres.poi.xwpf.converter.pdf.PdfOptions;
import fr.opensagres.poi.xwpf.converter.pdf.PdfConverter;
//needed jars: apache poi and it's dependencies
// and additionally: ooxml-schemas-1.4.jar
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.util.Units;
import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.*;
public class XWPFToPDFConverterSampleMin {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument();
// there must be a styles document, even if it is empty
XWPFStyles styles = document.createStyles();
// there must be section properties for the page having at least the page size set
CTSectPr sectPr = document.getDocument().getBody().addNewSectPr();
CTPageSz pageSz = sectPr.addNewPgSz();
pageSz.setW(BigInteger.valueOf(12240)); //12240 Twips = 12240/20 = 612 pt = 612/72 = 8.5"
pageSz.setH(BigInteger.valueOf(15840)); //15840 Twips = 15840/20 = 792 pt = 792/72 = 11"
// filling the body
XWPFParagraph paragraph = document.createParagraph();
XWPFRun title = paragraph.createRun();
title.setText("gLETS GO");
//document must be written so underlaaying objects will be committed
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
document.write(out);
document.close();
document = new XWPFDocument(new ByteArrayInputStream(out.toByteArray()));
PdfOptions options = PdfOptions.create();
PdfConverter converter = (PdfConverter)PdfConverter.getInstance();
converter.convert(document, new FileOutputStream("XWPFToPDFConverterSampleMin.pdf"), options);
document.close();
}
}
I would not suggest you to use apache poi since its library to convert word to pdf have been discontinued now. As of today I don't think that there is any open source library which do the conversion (they require some dependencies like some need MS word to be installed, etc). The best way I could think of (it will only work if you are deploying project on linux machine) is that install Libre Office (open source) in the linux machine and run this :
String command = "libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf " + inputPath + " --outdir " + outputPath;
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

Reading equations from Word (*.docx) to HTML together with their text context using apache poi

We are building a java code to read word document (.docx) into our program using apache POI.
We are stuck when we encounter formulas and chemical equation inside the document.
Yet, we managed to read formulas but we have no idea how to locate its index in concerned string..
INPUT (format is *.docx)
text before formulae **CHEMICAL EQUATION** text after
OUTPUT (format shall be HTML) we designed
text before formulae text after **CHEMICAL EQUATION**
We are unable to fetch the string and reconstruct to its original form.
Question
Now is there any way to locate the position of the image and formulae within the stripped line, so that it can be restored to its original form after reconstruction of the string, as against having it appended at the end of string.?
If the needed format is HTML, then Word text content together with Office MathML equations can be read the following way.
In Reading equations & formula from Word (Docx) to html and save database using java I have provided an example which gets all Office MathML equations out of an Word document into HTML. It uses paragraph.getCTP().getOMathList() and paragraph.getCTP().getOMathParaList() to get the OMath elements from the paragraph. This takes the OMath elements out of the text context.
If one wants get those OMath elements in context with the other elements in the paragraphs, then using a org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlCursor is needed to loop over all different XML elements in the paragraph. The following example uses the XmlCursor to get text runs together with OMath elements from the paragraph.
The transformation from Office MathML into MathML is taken using the same XSLT approach as in Reading equations & formula from Word (Docx) to html and save database using java. There also is described where the OMML2MML.XSL comes from.
The file Formula.docx looks like:

XWPFParagraph paragraph;
for (CTOMath ctomath : paragraph.getCTP().getOMathList()) {
formulas=formulas + getMathML(ctomath);
}
With the above code it is able to extract the math formula from the given paragraph of a docx file.
Also for the purpose displaying the formula in a html page I m converting it to mathml code and rendering it with MathJax on the page. This I m able to do.
But the problem is, Is it possible to get the position of the formula in the given paragraph. So that I can display the formula in the exact location in the paragraph while rendering it as a html page.

how to judge if the file is doc or docx in POI

The title may be a little confusing. The simplest method must be judging by extension name just like:
// is represents the InputStream
if (filePath.endsWith("doc")) {
WordExtractor ex = new WordExtractor(is);
text = ex.getText();
ex.close();
} else if(filePath.endsWith("docx")) {
XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument(is);
XWPFWordExtractor extractor = new XWPFWordExtractor(doc);
text = extractor.getText();
extractor.close();
}
This works in most cases. But I have found that for certain file whose extension is doc (a docx file essentially) if you open using winrar, you will find xml files. As it is known that a docx file is a zip file consists of xml files.
I believe this problem must not be rare. But I have not found any information about this. Obviously, judging by extension name to read a doc or docx is not appropriate.
In my case, I have to read a lot of files. And I will even read the doc or docx inside a compressed file, zip, 7z or even rar. Hence, I have to read content by inputStream instead of a File or something else. So how to know whether a file is .docx or .doc format from Apache POI is totally not suitable for my case with ZipInputStream.
What is the best way to judge a file is a doc or docx? I want a solution to read the content from a file which may be doc or docx. But not only just simply judge if it is a doc or docx. Apparently, ZipInpuStream is not a good method for my case. And I believe it is not a appropriate method for others either. Why do I have to judge if the file is doc or docx by an exception?
Using the current stable apache poi version 3.17 you may use FileMagic. But internally this will of course also have a look into the files.
Example:
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.FileMagic;
import org.apache.poi.hwpf.extractor.WordExtractor;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.extractor.XWPFWordExtractor;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument;
public class ReadWord {
static String read(InputStream is) throws Exception {
System.out.println(FileMagic.valueOf(is));
String text = "";
if (FileMagic.valueOf(is) == FileMagic.OLE2) {
WordExtractor ex = new WordExtractor(is);
text = ex.getText();
ex.close();
} else if(FileMagic.valueOf(is) == FileMagic.OOXML) {
XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument(is);
XWPFWordExtractor extractor = new XWPFWordExtractor(doc);
text = extractor.getText();
extractor.close();
}
return text;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("ExampleOLE.doc")); //really a binary OLE2 Word file
System.out.println(read(is));
is.close();
is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("ExampleOOXML.doc")); //a OOXML Word file named *.doc
System.out.println(read(is));
is.close();
is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("ExampleOOXML.docx")); //really a OOXML Word file
System.out.println(read(is));
is.close();
}
}
try {
new ZipFile(new File("/Users/giang/Documents/a.doc"));
System.out.println("this file is .docx");
} catch (ZipException e) {
System.out.println("this file is not .docx");
e.printStackTrace();
}

How to edit docx using Java

I need replace cerain words or phrases in docx-file and save it with another name. I know that my problem is not unik and I tried find solution in the web. But I still can't get a result that I need.
I found two ways to solwe my task but came to the deadlock in each case.
1. Unfold docx like a zip-file, change xml with main content and pack into archive again. But after that manipulations I can't open new changed docx in MS Word. It is odd because I can do the similar steps by hands (without Java, using WinRar) and get a correct result file.
So can you explain me how to archive docx content to get a correct file using Java?
Using external API. I get an advice to use docx4j Java library. But all tat I can with it is just replace a label (like ${label}) in template with any words (I used VariableReplace sample). But I want change words that I want without using a template with labels.
I hope for a help.
I had this code. I hope that it helps you to resolve your problem. With it, you can read from a .docx find the word that you would change. Change this word and save the new paragraphs in new document.
//WriteDocx.java

para.setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
XWPFRun run = para.createRun();
run.setBold(true);
run.setFontSize(36);
run.setText("Apache POI works well!");
List<XWPFParagraph>paragraphs = new ArrayList<XWPFParagraph>();
List<XWPFRun>runs = new ArrayList<XWPFRun>();
int k = 0;
for(k=0;k<count+1;k++){
paragraphs.add(document.createParagraph());
}
k=0;
while(st.hasMoreElements()){
paragraphs.get(k).setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.LEFT);
paragraphs.get(k).setSpacingAfter(0);
paragraphs.get(k).setSpacingBefore(0);
run = paragraphs.get(k).createRun();
run.setText(st.nextElement().toString());
k++;
}
document.write(new FileOutputStream("test2.docx"));
}
}
PS: XWPFDocument docx = new XWPFDocument(new FileInputStream("Bonjour1.docx"))
You must change "Bonjour1.docx" with the name of file from where you would replace certain words or phrases.
I use APACHE POI library
And I take some code from this site HANDLING MS WORD DOCUMENTS USING APACHE POI
UPDATE
If you want to change arbitrary words, you can do that easily enough with docx4j.
But first you need to find them.
You can find your words using an XPath query, or by traversing the document tree in Java.

error in converting word document to pdf using iText

The below is the code that i used to convert a word document to pdf. After compiling the code, the PDF file is generated. But the file contains some junk characters along with the word document content. Please help me to know what modification should i do to get rid of the junk characters.
The code i used is:
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
public class PdfConverter
{
private void createPdf(String inputFile, String outputFile)//, boolean isPictureFile)
{
Document pdfDocument = new Document();
String pdfFilePath = outputFile;
try
{
FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(pdfFilePath);
PdfWriter writer = null;
writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(pdfDocument, fileOutputStream);
writer.open();
pdfDocument.open();
/*if (isPictureFile)
{
pdfDocument.add(com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance(inputFile));
}
else
{ */
File file = new File(inputFile);
pdfDocument.add(new Paragraph(org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.readFileToString(file)));
//}
pdfDocument.close();
writer.close();
System.out.println("PDF has been generted");
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
System.out.println("Document Exception!" + exception);
}
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
PdfConverter pdfConversion = new PdfConverter();
pdfConversion.createPdf("C:/test.doc", "C:/test.pdf");//, true);
}
}
Thanks for you help.
Only because you name your class PdfConverter you don't have one. All you do is reading the binary content as a String and writing this as one paragraph (and that's what you see). This approach will definitively not be successful. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/437394 for a similar question.
If you are interested just in the content of your word document, you might want to give Apache POI - the Java API for Microsoft Documents a try to read your the document not at binary level but on a hight abstraction level. If your Word document has a simple (and I mean a really simple) structure you might get reasonable results.
To do this, you will have to read the doc file correctly and then use the read data to create the PDF file.
What you are doing right now is that you are reading data from doc file, which is having garbage values since you are not using proper API to read the data, and then storing the obtained garbage data in the PDF file. Hence the issue.
