@yashgupta any solution you got?
@pptyasar no as of now i dnt have any solution .do you have any solution for this .Basically i have scanned invoices in pdf and want to convert that to docx format in text format with retaining all the fonts,format and layout
Apart from running on the command line can I run this on jupyter or pycharm?
I tried converting pdf to docx and it didn't work. Its working from docx to pdf and pdf to ODG.
Based on the above link, it seems like libreoffice 6 and higher versions are not supported to convert to doc/docx. Anyone have idea about this?
Please share if we have any other ways to convert pdf to docx using python.
Thank you.
