The following steps outline the conversion process:

Detailed Steps and Code

Step 1: Load PDF Document

First, load the PDF file into a PDDocument object:

try (PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File("sample.pdf"))) {
    // Proceed with extraction and conversion
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Step 2: Extract Word Text

Extract text using PDFTextStripper:

PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
String extractedText = stripper.getText(doc);

Step 3: Convert Text to Image

Create a BufferedImage and draw the text onto it:

int width = 800;
int height = 600;
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2d = img.createGraphics();
g2d.setColor(Color.WHITE);
g2d.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
g2d.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g2d.setFont(new Font("SansSerif", Font.PLAIN, 14));
int x = 20;
int y = 30;
for (String line : extractedText.split("\n")) {
    g2d.drawString(line, x, y);
    y += g2d.getFontMetrics().getHeight();
}
g2d.dispose();

Step 4: Save Image

Write the image to a PNG file:

ImageIO.write(img, "png", new File("output.png"));

Conclusion

Following these steps, you can convert Word text from a PDDocument into an image. Remember the key phases: loading the PDF, extracting text, converting to an image, and saving. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Happy coding!
