Thread: problem in reading the content from pdf and write in word document in java ?

I have a problem while reading a content (text and images) from pdf file and write the content to word document. But content is junk characters in word document instead of original data. I have used itext-1.4.8.jar and itextpdf-5.0 jar . Any help appreciated.
Here is my code

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
 
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.parser.ContentByteUtils;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.Paragraph;
import com.lowagie.text.rtf.RtfWriter2;
 
public class Check1 {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,
            IOException, DocumentException {
 
        PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(
                "/home/mujafar/Desktop/NPTEL Transcription Guidelines.pdf");
        int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
        System.out.println("total no of pages:::" + n);
 
        Document document = new Document();
 
        RtfWriter2.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(
                "/home/mujafar/Desktop/file.docx"));
        System.out.println("file created");
        document.open();
        byte[] bytes;
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
 
            bytes = ContentByteUtils.getContentBytesForPage(reader, i);
 
            String s = new String(bytes);
            document.add(new Paragraph(s));
 
            document.newPage();
 
        }
 
        document.close();
    }
}

I have used itext-4.2.0.jar and itextpdf-5.4.5 jar and used com.lowagie.text.pdf.parser.PdfTextExtractor to read the pdf. Below is the attached piece of code which is working fine. I hope it helps

package packJava;
 
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter; 
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.parser.PdfTextExtractor;
 
public class MainClass {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException,
            IOException, DocumentException { 
        PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(
                "D:\\docs\\33745_The Immortals of Meluha - Chapter 1.pdf");
        int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
        //System.out.println("total no of pages:::" + n);       
        PdfTextExtractor parser =new PdfTextExtractor(reader);       
        //System.out.println(parser.getTextFromPage(1));
        FileWriter write=new FileWriter("D:\\docs\\file4.doc",true);
        PrintWriter print_line= new PrintWriter(write);
        for(int i=1;i<n;i++){
        	print_line.printf("%s", parser.getTextFromPage(i));	
        }
        print_line.close();
        write.close();
    }
}

[QUOTE]
Thanks for Reply. Previously i have done like that only. But it only getting text from the pdf file.But not considering any spaces Font sizes, Font styles etc...It just grabs the text and printing. But i want to get all exact data(text and images and spaces and tables(i.e everything same data as pdf data).I hope you understand my problem exactly. my code attachment like this. Thanks in advance....
