Conversion depends on the format of the pdf.

if it's text converted to pdf you might be able to use this library.

If the pdf is made up of images of text(i.e. scanned pages), then this might help

Converting to text will lose information such as formatting, images, bookmarks, etc. Information that you'll want to preserve when converting a PDF to DOC.

You might have to explore the OCR option if you want to keep the formatting. If you already have Microsoft Office you can access their OCR Api, as well
