Conversion of pdf extract json back to pdf

The PDF extract API extracts info of different elements from a pdf an forms a JSON for it.

 

Is there a reverse API available, which accepts the JSON in the same format as extracted above and creates a PDF using it?

 

I am trying to replace the original text with a different text here. If not, how to create a pdf from the JSON available.

    The answer is that you can't.  The JSON alone does not contain any page layout directives.

    Ok, Do it possible to using the API "Extract Text and Tables and Character Bounding Boxes (w/ Renditions)". It will provide the stuctured JSON Then modify the text into this json and create back the pdf. 
    Do this JSON contains the full style and format information?

    At this time, we do not convert from JSON to PDF. JSON alone does not contain any page layout directives so we really can't.
