The PDF to Word API converts PDFs into editable DOCX documents. Upload a PDF (up to 10 MB), send the URL of one hosted elsewhere, or pass it as a base64 string, and get the Word file back either directly in the response or as a link you can store or share. The PDF must not be password-protected.
Use it to let users edit contracts, forms, and reports that only exist as PDFs, reuse content from generated documents, or bring PDFs into review workflows built around Word. For scanned PDFs, run them through an OCR API first so the text becomes editable. To go the other way, use the Word to PDF API. To create Word files from web content, use the HTML to Word API.
Pick the endpoint that fits where your PDF is: upload endpoints when the file is in your app, URL endpoints when it's hosted elsewhere, and base64 endpoints when the PDF is already encoded in your data. You can start on ApyHub's free tier with no card required.
