Steps for Converting PDF to Word

1. Import the trial Developer License:
   
   
   License.Import(new StreamReader(@"C:\Users\Joe\license.xml"));
   
   
2. Locate the PDF files to using OpenFileDialog:
   
   
   OpenFileDialog OpFile = new OpenFileDialog();
   //show only PDF Files
   OpFile.Filter = "PDF Files (*.pdf)|*.pdf";
   
   if (OpFile.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
   {
   ...
   
   
3. Define strings to manage opening and saving files:
   
   
   String pdfPath = OpFile.FileName;
   String wordPath = Path.ChangeExtension(pdfPath, ".docx");
   
   
4. Convert the PDF File using PDFtoWordConverter:
   
   
   ...
   using (PdfToWordConverter converter = new PdfToWordConverter())
   {
     //Add the selected file
     converter.AddSourceFile(pdfPath);
                  
     //Continuous mode recovers text formatting, graphics and text flow
     converter.ReconstructionMode = ReconstructionMode.Continuous;
     
     //Or Use Flowing Reconstruction Mode if you need to keep the look and feel of the PDF
     converter.ReconstructionMode = ReconstructionMode.Flowing;
   
     //Convert the file renaming it with the word extension and setting overwrite to true
     converter.ConvertTo(wordPath, true);
   }
   ...
