Document Conversion

[Sahil Sharma]

Hi,

I have a requirement where i have to convert a document(doc,pdf) into an xml file. Are there any api's available that can help me to achieve this?

Thanks

not that much clear about your requirement, is there is xml file in Doc or PDF format and you want to create .xml file from that ??

Apache POI - HWPF - Java API to Handle Microsoft Word Files can help you with reading word files and then you can use XML generation with JAVA to create XML files.

the document will contain normal contents or images but in a particular format. e.g. [Heading, sub-heading, paragraphs etc]

PDFs are tough; the best you will be able to do is to extract any text they contain, but structural information will be lost (unless you're prepared to invest a lot of time).
