Usage: pdf2word [options] -in inputfile -out outputfile
BASIC PARAMETERS:
-in [ -i ] arg The input file. The default input folder is the
current working folder. When running the
application from the console or a BAT file, you may
use relative file names. However, if you are
calling it from an application or a server, we
recommend using absolute file names for robustness.
-out [ -o ] arg The output file. The file extension (".docx",
".doc" or ".rtf") of the output file will also set
the output file type. The default output folder is
the same folder as the input. When running the
application from the console or a BAT file, you may
use relative file names. However, if you are
calling it from an application or a server, we
recommend using absolute file names for robustness.
OPTIONS:
-output arg The output file type. Valid parameter values are
"docx", "doc" and "rtf". If this option is
completely omitted, the default output file type
is "docx".
-pages arg (=all) Page numbers of pages to be converted. You may
specify a single page number, e.g. 2, or a range of
pages, e.g. 2-6. If omitted, all pages will be
converted.
-fileTimeout arg (=300) The maximum amount of time allowed, in seconds,
for each document conversion. The default timeout
is 300 seconds (5 minutes).
-quality arg (=85) The image compression quality for JPEG,
from 5 to 100. The default quality is 85.
-resolution arg (=192) The image resolution in pixels per inch,
from 8 to 600. The default resolution is 192.
-password arg The master password to open the PDF. The password
must give unrestricted content extraction
permissions.
-bookmarks arg (=page) Bookmark generation in the output, either the
default "page" option to create a bookmark at the
beginning of each page, "extract" to extract
bookmarks from the PDF or "none" to not create any
bookmark in the output.
-ocred arg (=image+text) Handling of special OCRed PDFs that only contain
full-page images with hidden selectable text. This
option is only applicable to a PDF produced by an
OCR engine based on a scanned image. Valid
parameter values are "image+text", "text" and
"image". The default option, "image+text", converts
both images and text, making the hidden text
visible in the output. Use "text" to convert only
the text to make the hidden text visible in the
output or "image" to convert only the images.
-connectHyphens arg Flag to re-connect basic English dictionary words
that are hyphenated at the end of a line. This
does not remove hyphens from expressions that
require a hyphen, such as "counter-clockwise" or
"well-intentioned". Valid parameter values are "on"
and "off". By default, this option is turned "on"
if specified without an argument. However, if this
option is completely omitted, it defaults to "off".
-condense arg Flag to shrink character spacing to prevent wrap.
Valid parameter values are "on" and "off". By
default, this option is turned "on" if specified
without an argument. However, if this option is
completely omitted, it defaults to "off".
-matchLines arg Flag to insert newline characters into the output
in order to match precise line breaks in the PDF.
Please note that this interferes with paragraph
detection and you may end up with a new paragraph
for each line. Valid parameter values are "on" and
"off". By default, this option is turned "on" if
specified without an argument. However, if this
option is completely omitted, it defaults to "off".
-noAdjustFonts arg Flag to stop adjusting and shrinking the fonts to
fit text in the available space. Take note that
disabling font adjustments may sometimes cause a
single page PDF to come out as two pages in Word.
Valid parameter values are "on" and "off". By
default, this option is turned "on" if specified
without an argument. However, if this option is
completely omitted, it defaults to "off".
-removeInvisibleText arg Flag to remove text that shares the same color as
the background. Valid parameter values are "on" and
"off". By default, this option is turned "on".
-wordPad arg Flag to generate RTF with uncompressed images for
WordPad compatibility. This applies to RTF output
files only. Please note that uncompressed images
can significantly blow up the output file size.
Valid parameter values are "on" and "off". By
default, this option is turned "on" if specified
without an argument. However, if this option is
completely omitted, it defaults to "off".
-advanced [ -a ] arg Advanced option to ignore angled text
(IgnoreAngledText=True) and/or vertical text
(IgnoreVerticalText=True).
By default, these are turned off.
-version Print the version number. Only available in Windows.

and progress messages are not displayed. Only
errors that are considered failures are shown.
