Convert PDF
=======================
We can use either the :py:class:`~pdf2docx.converter.Converter` class, or
a wrapped method :py:meth:`~pdf2docx.main.parse` to convert all/specified
pdf pages to docx. Multi-processing is supported in case pdf file with a
large number of pages.
Example 1: convert all pages
----------------------------------
::
from pdf2docx import Converter
pdf_file = '/path/to/sample.pdf'
docx_file = 'path/to/sample.docx'
# convert pdf to docx
cv = Converter(pdf_file)
cv.convert(docx_file) # all pages by default
cv.close()
An alternative using ``parse`` method::
from pdf2docx import parse
pdf_file = '/path/to/sample.pdf'
docx_file = 'path/to/sample.docx'
# convert pdf to docx
parse(pdf_file, docx_file)
Example 2: convert specified pages
----------------------------------------
* Specify pages range by ``start`` (from the first page if omitted) and
``end`` (to the last page if omitted)::
# convert from the second page to the end (by default)
cv.convert(docx_file, start=1)
# convert from the first page (by default) to the third (end=3, excluded)
cv.convert(docx_file, end=3)
# convert from the second page and the third
cv.convert(docx_file, start=1, end=3)
* Alternatively, set separate pages by ``pages``::
# convert the first, third and 5th pages
cv.convert(docx_file, pages=[0,2,4])
.. note::
Refer to :py:meth:`~pdf2docx.converter.Converter.convert` for detailed description
on the input arguments.
Example 3: multi-Processing
--------------------------------
Turn on multi-processing with default count of CPU::
cv.convert(docx_file, multi_processing=True)
Specify the count of CPUs::
cv.convert(docx_file, multi_processing=True, cpu_count=4)
.. note::
Multi-processing works for continuous pages specified by ``start`` and ``end`` only.
Example 4: convert encrypted pdf
---------------------------------------
Provide ``password`` to open and convert password protected pdf::
cv = Converter(pdf_file, password)
cv.convert(docx_file)
cv.close()
