最近需要将 pdf 批量转为 txt ，用软件效果挺差，想起 word 2013 可以打开pdf ，试了下，效果挺不错的。

然后 word 可以保存 txt 。

问题是如何做呢？ word 自带 com编程，直接用python 调用 windows api 最好用SaveAs2,这是2010 和2013的API。之前版本的是SaveAs。

代码如下：

from win32com import client as wc 
import os
class PdfTotxt:
    def __init__(self,pdfPath,savePath):
        self.pdfPath  = pdfPath
        self.savePath = savePath
        self.word = wc.Dispatch('Word.Application') 
        # 后台运行，不显示，不警告
        self.word.Visible = 0   
        self.word.DisplayAlerts = 0
        
    def startChange(self): 
        for path, subdirs, files in os.walk(self.pdfPath ): 
            for pdfFile in files: 
                pdfFullName = os.path.join(path, pdfFile) 
                dotIndex = pdfFile.rfind(".") 
                fileSuffix = pdfFile[(dotIndex + 1) : ] 
                
                if fileSuffix == "pdf" : 
                    try:
                        doc = self.word.Documents.Open(pdfFullName) 
                        #至少两百字
                        if doc.Words.count < 200:
                            doc.Close()
                            continue
                        
                        fileName = pdfFile[ : dotIndex] +".txt" 
                        fileName = os.path.join(self.savePath, fileName) 
                        print path+ '\\' + pdfFile+"  ====>  " + fileName 
                        #, SaveAs method is used in versions before Word 2007. If you use Office 2010, I suggest you try Document.SaveAs2 Method.

                        doc.SaveAs2(fileName, FileFormat=2) 
                        doc.Close()
                    except Exception,e:
                        print '********************ERROR',path+ '\\' + pdfFile,e
        self.word.Quit() 
    
pdfPath = r'J:\realpdf\test'
savePath = r'J:\realpdf\test\out'
task = PdfTotxt(pdfPath,savePath) 
task.startChange()
print 'ok'
