Creating HTML from .docx and .pdf files

[maninder singh Kumar]

I need help in figuring out how to convert a .docx and .pdf file uploaded to the server into HTML format.  

The eventual aim is to be able to store the displayed file back into a mysql database using django backend.

Upload --> Display in frontend --> Modify in frontend --> store in db using django

Any answers would be appreciated.

Hi,

Your question is quite loose. Convert to HTML in the frontend? What do you want to convert? Also, what about fonts, styling, images, borders, padding, margins, colors and so on?
Does it needs to be pixel-perfect, or just the raw test-content? What would happen if the PDF doesn't have text, but only graphs? (the same for docx btw)

The list of questions only starts here.

Yes, it can be done, no it's not available for free.

Regards

Sander

Hi Maninder,

Cool, First step would be decoding the files:

• pfd
• docx   

After decoding the above, create a dom node, write the parsed information into it, by creating all needed nodes, make sure to cater for the fonts, colors and styles. Then its just a case of grabbing the `innerHTML` of that document, and send it to the server.

This is what I have achieved so far :

1.  Checked out the logic for encoding and decoding

2.  Have a btoa code worked out

3.  Wondering if I can get an editable html file as an output
