Convert PDF to Word Job API

Hosted on ApyHub

What it does

PDF to Word Converter turns one or more PDF files into .docx documents. Send PDF binaries in the files array, then use the returned batch_id and per-file jobs to track conversion progress.

Each submit response includes a parent batch_id plus a job entry for every file, with job_id, filename, status, and progress. That makes it easy to handle multi-file uploads and keep your own job queue in sync with the conversion state.

Use GET /status/:job_id when you want the current state of a single job or batch. The status response can include overall progress, file counts, and a jobs list with child job progress. If you only need a high-level view across multiple jobs, GET /overall-status accepts job_ids and returns aggregate status, progress, and file totals.

When a job finishes, GET /download/:job_id returns the converted Word file as binary output. That fits document workflows such as editing uploaded reports, converting scanned PDFs into shareable Office documents, or automating batch document migration.

Note: Pricing depends on page count and detected PDF type: native PDFs cost 2 atoms per page + 100, while scanned PDFs cost 5 atoms per page + 100.
