How to convert a Rasterized PDF into a DOCX in C# .NET Framework

Creating a DOCX file using a rasterized PDF is no mean feat, let me tell you. There are a lot of hidden traps that can be triggered in the form of parsing errors, format nuances, and many other little things that I won’t even get into. With this tutorial here today, I will be showing you how to get this conversion done with the greatest of ease, requiring but a few minutes of your time.

First we import our package with the following command for NuGet’s console:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 3.2.8

Next our function call, based off this example code:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class ConvertDocumentPdfToDocxRasterizeExample
{
public void main()
{
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Apikey", "Bearer");
var apiInstance = new ConvertDocumentApi();
var inputFile = new System.IO.Stream(); // System.IO.Stream | Input file to perform the operation on.
try
{
// Convert PDF to Word DOCX Document based on rasterized version of the PDF
byte[] result = apiInstance.ConvertDocumentPdfToDocxRasterize(inputFile);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling ConvertDocumentApi.ConvertDocumentPdfToDocxRasterize: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

And there you have it. Easy as pie!
