Overview
XtremePDFConverter VCL is a powerful VCL component for intelligently
converting PDF to easily editable Word RTF documents. XtremePDFConverter uses
artificial intelligence and also allows inputs from the user code to accurately
recognize and convert paragraphs, tables, bullets, numbered lists, newspaper
columns, and other standard document formatting features. XtremePDFConverter
outputs Word RTF documents that are well-formatted and easily editable.
Unlike Word documents, PDF documents usually do not contain enough
information about the logical organization of text and other data. What looks like a
paragraph to us humans may only be internally represented as multiple strands of
text or characters on a 2-D Cartesian plane. XtremePDFConverter parses PDF page
elements, tests them against
certain criteria, decides whether those page elements could represent a paragraph
or a table or a list or something else, and then applies appropriate conversion
rules. The resultant document is much more usable and editable than the input PDF
document. Unlike many products in the market, XtremePDFConverter generates regular
paragraphs. It uses text boxes only for rotated text elements and only when
required.
XtremePDFConverter currently supports conversion of PDF to RTF. RTF
is a popular document format introduced by Microsoft and is compatible with most
word-processing applications such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, Abiword, KWord,
… and also online productivity suites such as Google Docs, Lotus Symphony,
and Microsoft Office Live. XtremePDFConverter does not require PDF software such
as Adobe PDF library, Adobe Acrobat Professional, Adobe PDF Reader or
GhostScript.
