Convert Password-Protected PDF file to DOCX in C# and .NET


Working with PDF files, especially password-protected ones, is a common task in document automation. In this guide, we'll explain how to convert a password-protected PDF to DOCX using PDF Focus .NET from SautinSoft SDK, implementing all the necessary steps in C# and .NET.

Protected PDF files are widely used to maintain document confidentiality. You may need to automatically extract their content for processing or editing. Using a specialized library helps make this process reliable and fast.

Task update:

  • Document workflow automation: converting PDFs to editable formats. The code allows for integration into automated scripts, bots, or server-side applications.
  • Processing protected documents: sometimes, for example, a company receives passwords and needs to automate the work.
  • Compatibility: DOCX files allow for easy editing and integration with other systems.
  • Accuracy: Preserving styles and formatting after conversion ensures professional results.

Important points when using the sample code:

  • The code requires the correct password (`PdfPassword`).
  • A page check is performed before conversion.
  • A license key is required to use the library, or you can try the free demo version.

Sectors where this code is needed:

  • Legal practice: extracting data from password-protected documents.
  • Accounting and finance: automating the processing of financial reports protected by PDF.
  • Contract processing: converting protected contracts into an editable format.
  • Educational institutions: preparing password-protected educational materials.
