Convert pdf to word via API

I am trying to find a way to convert PDF to DOCX with creating proper table structure <table> <tr> <td> etc.

The tricky part is that the conversion should be done without user interaction. I pass the information about the PDF location via API or the document itself and I would like to get DOCX at the output

Ideally, it should be able to run directly on the server.

Acrobat is not permitted for server use, so it is not your solution. 

Check out, though, Adobe's new Document Services APIs. https://www.adobe.io/apis/documentcloud.html. Not something we know much about here but there is a forum https://community.adobe.com/t5/document-services-apis/bd-p/Document-Cloud-SDK. NB the code base is completely different, so you can expect completely different results.

 

Creating table structure sounds like a pipe dream UNLESS the document is properly tagged.
