I am unable to get the exact format from a pdf to doc or docx if the pdf is in a tabular format.
The structure gets distorted. Can you please help.
Docx4j is the only open source api which is efficient in converting docx to pdf without compromising the format and styling but catch there is it does not handle space and tabs in documents which keeps the problem unsolved. So I have been doing a lot of research in this area, I have not been able to find a single perfect api in java which converts doc or docx to pdf without compromising the format and styling.
