pdf to doc/rtf in java

[Kris Bal]

We need to convert a pdf file to MS word/RTF from java program.Is there any open source java API available for this conversion ?.
I Tried with Itext and jasperreports.But no much use.
Or please suggest any other solution that can be followed for this?

iText and Jasper are for creating PDFs, not for editing it later. That's a reflection of the fact that PDF itself is not meant for editing; it's for viewing and printing. As such, I'm not aware of any open source library that would allow you to get formatting information out of a PDF. The best you can do is to extract the text that's in it; libraries like PDFBox and JPedal can do that.
