mac, convert pdf to docx in commandline

 

On a Mac computer, you can use the command line to convert a PDF file to a Word document by using the `textutil` command. Follow the steps below:

1. Open the Terminal application on your Mac. You can find it by searching for "Terminal" in Spotlight or navigating to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.

2. Navigate to the folder containing the PDF file you want to convert. You can use the `cd` command to change directories. For example, if your PDF file is located in the Documents folder, you can type `cd Documents` to navigate to that folder.

3. Once you're in the folder containing the PDF file, use the following command to convert the file to a Word document:

   `textutil -convert docx filename.pdf`

   Replace "filename.pdf" with the name of your PDF file.

4. Press Enter to run the command. The conversion process may take a few moments, depending on the size of the file.

5. Once the conversion is complete, you'll find a new file in the same folder with the same name as the original PDF file, but with a .docx extension. This is the Word document that was created from the PDF file.

That's it! You can now open the Word document in Microsoft Word or any other word processing application that supports the .docx file format.
