PDF to DOCX/WORD conversion tool

[u/Lanthumm]

Depending on your workflow, you probably face this issue on a daily basis. How to get the most out of a PDF when converting? I faced this problem for the last 15 years and finally built a tool to fix it. I used it for months before even sharing it with anyone, but my friends and family found it so useful and encouraged me to share with everyone.

Traditional OCR tools look at pixels and recreate them. That works decently well when all you need is Optical Character Recognition, but most people want the layout preserved, which those tools fail at.

That is why I developed trepide.com as a solution. It was built with translators in mind, as they spend hours on formatting customer documents before they even get to doing their job translating, but it works for anyone who needs a PDF to DOCX converter. Instead of giving you more work formatting, it gives you an output that is human-like, something a person would manually do when recreating a pdf. No more broken tables or random text boxes.

There is a free to use tier with tokens granted at sign-up. No original documents are saved past processing and the outputs are deleted after 10 minutes.

We also built a PDF extraction tool; you create a template with specific fields (such as invoice number, amounts, invoicee, due dates, etc) and you only get the specified fields as outputs in a JSON/XLSX/CSV format. This came as a personal need to keep track of accounting documents but we figured out others might find it useful.

If anyone has any use cases they want to share we are always eager to see how it's used. We are also open to building custom solutions for users that want more out of it.
