About converting from PDF

The Apryse SDK also supports converting from PDF to other formats like EMF, EPUB, XOD, HTML and XPS.

In addition to the document formats, exporting to image formats like TIFF, SVG, PNG and JPEG are supported too.

Semantic structure information like tables, headers, footers, paragraphs are not part of the PDF specification and do not exist in PDFs. To extract this type of data, any type of conversion or extraction tool will need to have a good document understanding to differentiate between tables or paragraphs. As part of our efforts at Apryse to provide cutting edge document tools, we have created Apryse IDP with Intelligent Data Extraction - APIs for extracting structured data to JSON
