# PDF to Word
Convert a text-based PDF to a Word document (DOCX). Best suited for PDFs with selectable text; scanned pages will need OCR first.
## API Endpoint
`POST /api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-word`
Accepts multipart form data with a PDF file.
## Parameters
This tool has no configurable parameters. Upload a PDF and it will be converted to DOCX.
## Example Request
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/pdf/pdf-to-word \
-H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
-F "file=@report.pdf"
```
## Example Response
Returns `202 Accepted`. Track progress via SSE at `/api/v1/jobs/{jobId}/progress`.
```json
{
"jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
"async": true
}
```
## Notes
- Accepted input format: `.pdf`.
- Works best with text-based PDFs. Scanned or image-only pages will produce empty or minimal output; use [PDF OCR](./ocr-pdf) to add a text layer first.
- Conversion is handled by LibreOffice running headless on the server.
- Complex layouts (multi-column, overlapping elements) may not convert perfectly.
