Nowadays, it is not difficult to convert PDF documents into Word files using a software. However, if you want to maintain the layout and even the font formatting while converting, it is not something that every software can accomplish. Spire.PDF for Java does it well and offers you the following two modes when converting PDF to Word in Java.
Fixed Layout mode has fast conversion speed and is conducive to maintaining the original appearance of PDF files to the greatest extent. However, the editability of the resulting document will be limited since each line of text in PDF will be presented in a separate frame in the generated Word document.
Flowable Structure is a full recognition mode. The converted content will not be presented in frames, and the structure of the resulting document is flowable. The generated Word document is easy to re-edit but may look different from the original PDF file.
Install Spire.PDF for Java
First, you're required to add the Spire.Pdf.jar file as a dependency in your Java program. The JAR file can be downloaded from this link. If you use Maven, you can easily import the JAR file in your application by adding the following code to your project's pom.xml file.

Convert PDF to Doc/Docx with Fixed Layout
The following are the steps to convert PDF to Doc or Docx with fixed layout.
- Create a PdfDocument object.
- Load a PDF file using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Convert the PDF document to a Doc or Docx format file using PdfDocument.saveToFile(String fileName, FileFormat fileFormat) method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.FileFormat;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
public class ConvertPdfToWordWithFixedLayout {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a PdfDocument object
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
//Load a sample PDF document
doc.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\sample.pdf");
//Convert PDF to Doc and save it to a specified path
doc.saveToFile("output/ToDoc.doc", FileFormat.DOC);
//Convert PDF to Docx and save it to a specified path
doc.saveToFile("output/ToDocx.docx", FileFormat.DOCX);
doc.close();
}
}
Convert PDF to Doc/Docx with Flowable Structure
The following are the steps to convert PDF to Doc or Docx with flowable structure.
- Create a PdfDocument object.
- Load a PDF file using PdfDocument.loadFromFile() method.
- Set the conversion mode as flow using PdfDocument. getConvertOptions().setConvertToWordUsingFlow() method.
- Convert the PDF document to a Doc or Docx format file using PdfDocument.saveToFile(String fileName, FileFormat fileFormat) method.
- Java
import com.spire.pdf.FileFormat;
import com.spire.pdf.PdfDocument;
public class ConvertPdfToWordWithFlowableStructure {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create a PdfDocument object
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
//Load a sample PDF document
doc.loadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\sample.pdf");
//Convert PDF to Word with flowable structure
doc.getConvertOptions().setConvertToWordUsingFlow(true);
//Convert PDF to Doc
doc.saveToFile("output/ToDoc.doc", FileFormat.DOC);
//Convert PDF to Docx
doc.saveToFile("output/ToDocx.docx", FileFormat.DOCX);
doc.close();
}
}

This article demonstrate how to add hyperlinks to a PowerPoint slide using Spire.Presentation for Java.
import com.spire.presentation.*;
import com.spire.presentation.drawing.FillFormatType;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
public class AddHyperlink {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Create a Presentation instance
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//Add a shape
Rectangle2D.Double rec = new Rectangle2D.Double(presentation.getSlideSize().getSize().getWidth() / 2 - 255, 120, 300, 150);
IAutoShape shape = presentation.getSlides().get(0).getShapes().appendShape(ShapeType.RECTANGLE, rec);
shape.getFill().setFillType(FillFormatType.NONE);
shape.getLine().setWidth(0);
shape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().clear();
//Add some paragraphs with hyperlinks to the shape
ParagraphEx para1 = new ParagraphEx();

tr1.setText("Spire.Presentation for Java");
tr1.getClickAction().setAddress("https://www.e-iceblue.com/Introduce/presentation-for-java.html");
tr1.setLatinFont(new TextFont("Lucida Sans Unicode"));
tr1.setFontHeight(20);
para1.getTextRanges().append(tr1);

//Save the document
presentation.saveToFile("AddHyperlink.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2010);
}
}
Output:
A SmartArt graphic is a visual representation of information and ideas. It can turn ordinary text into the predefined graphic, which makes the text information easier to understand. In this article, you will learn how to create a SmartArt in PowerPoint and custom its layout programmatically using Spire.Presentation for Java.

Create a SmartArt in PowerPoint
The detailed steps are as follows.
- Create a Presentation object.
- Get a specified slide using Presentation.getSlides().get() method.
- Insert a SmartArt into the specified slide using ISlide.getShapes().appendSmartArt() method.
- Set the style and color of the SmartArt using ISmartArt.setStyle() method and ISmartArt.setColorStyle() method.
- Loop through the nodes in SmartArt and remove all default nodes using ISmartArt.getNodes().removeNode() method.
- Add a parent node to the SmartArt using ISmartArt.getNodes().addNode() method, and then add 4 child nodes using ISmartArtNode.getChildNodes().addNode() method.
- Add text to each node using ISmartArtNode.getTextFrame().setText() method.
- Get the text range of the above added text using ISmartArtNode.getTextFrame().getTextRange() method, and then set the text font size using PortionEx.setFontHeight() method.
- Save the document to file using Presentation.saveToFile() method.
- Java
import com.spire.presentation.FileFormat;
import com.spire.presentation.ISlide;
import com.spire.presentation.Presentation;
import com.spire.presentation.diagrams.*;
public class AddSmartArt {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
//Create a Presentation object.
Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
//Get the first slide
ISlide slide = presentation.getSlides().get(0);
//Insert a SmartArt (Organization Chart) into the slide
ISmartArt smartArt = slide.getShapes().appendSmartArt(60, 60, 500, 400, SmartArtLayoutType.ORGANIZATION_CHART);
//Set the style and color of SmartArt
smartArt.setStyle(SmartArtStyleType.MODERATE_EFFECT);
smartArt.setColorStyle(SmartArtColorType.COLORFUL_ACCENT_COLORS_4_TO_5);
//Remove all default nodes
for (Object a : smartArt.getNodes()) {
smartArt.getNodes().removeNode(0);
}
//Add a parent node
ISmartArtNode node1 = smartArt.getNodes().addNode();
//Add 4 child nodes
ISmartArtNode node1_1 = node1.getChildNodes().addNode();
ISmartArtNode node1_2 = node1.getChildNodes().addNode();
ISmartArtNode node1_3 = node1.getChildNodes().addNode();
ISmartArtNode node1_4 = node1.getChildNodes().addNode();
//Add text to each node and set its font size
node1.getTextFrame().setText("General Manager");
node1.getTextFrame().getTextRange().setFontHeight(14f);
node1_1.getTextFrame().setText("Marketing Manager");
node1_1.getTextFrame().getTextRange().setFontHeight(12f);
node1_2.getTextFrame().setText("Operation Manager");
node1_2.getTextFrame().getTextRange().setFontHeight(12f);
node1_3.getTextFrame().setText("Human Resource Manager");
node1_3.getTextFrame().getTextRange().setFontHeight(12f);
node1_4.getTextFrame().setText("Account Manager");
node1_4.getTextFrame().getTextRange().setFontHeight(12f);
//Save the document
presentation.saveToFile("SmartArt.pptx", FileFormat.PPTX_2010);
presentation.dispose();
}
