PDF to DOCX

Convert PDF documents to Word (.docx) format using MinerU. Transforms PDF files into editable Word documents preserving layout, text, tables, and formatting....

Convert PDF files to editable Word (.docx) format using MinerU.

⚠️ Token required. flash-extract does not support DOCX output. You must configure a token via mineru-open-api auth before using this skill.

⚠️ Output to file required. DOCX is a binary format and cannot be streamed to stdout — you must always specify -o <directory>.

Install

npm install -g mineru-open-api
# or via Go (macOS/Linux):
go install github.com/opendatalab/MinerU-Ecosystem/cli/mineru-open-api@latest

Authentication

Token required — create one at https://mineru.net/apiManage/token:

mineru-open-api auth             # Interactive token setup
export MINERU_TOKEN="your-token" # Or via environment variable

Quick Start

# Convert PDF to DOCX (token required, -o is mandatory)
mineru-open-api extract report.pdf -f docx -o ./out/

# From URL
mineru-open-api extract https://example.com/report.pdf -f docx -o ./out/

# With language hint
mineru-open-api extract report.pdf -f docx --language en -o ./out/

# With VLM model for better layout accuracy (complex PDFs)
mineru-open-api extract report.pdf -f docx --model vlm -o ./out/

# Batch convert multiple PDFs
mineru-open-api extract *.pdf -f docx -o ./out/

Capabilities

• Supported input: .pdf (local file or URL)
• Output format: Word (.docx) via -f docx
• Token required (mineru-open-api auth or MINERU_TOKEN env)
• -o <dir> is mandatory — DOCX cannot stream to stdout
• Language hint with --language (default: ch, use en for English)
• Page range with --pages (e.g. 1-10)
• Batch mode supported: extract *.pdf -f docx -o ./out/

Notes

• flash-extract does NOT support DOCX output — always use extract with token
• DOCX output cannot be streamed to stdout; -o flag is required
• Use --model vlm for PDFs with complex layouts, tables, or mixed content
• Use --model pipeline if you need guaranteed fidelity with no hallucination risk
• Output directory will be created if it does not exist
• All progress/status messages go to stderr
