I'm looking to convert PDF to google Doc in Drive using Google Script Editor. However keep getting error message "Converting from application/pdf to application/doc is not supported". Is this conversion possible in script? My attempt as below, would be great to hear any advice.
function convertdPDF2doc() {
var pdffile = DriveApp.getFileById();
var pdfblob = pdffile.getAs('application/doc');
pdfblob.setName(doc.getName() + ".doc");
DriveApp.createFile(docblob);
}
function pdfToDoc() {
var fileBlob = DriveApp.getFileById('0B3m2D6239t6aWHo5TVpyYzhxV1U').getBlob();
var resource = {
title: fileBlob.getName(),
mimeType: fileBlob.getContentType()
};
var options = {
ocr: true
};
var docFile = Drive.Files.insert(resource, fileBlob, options);
Logger.log(docFile.alternateLink);
}
Add Drive API to google apps script project https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/advanced#enabling_advanced_services
You can see you pdf file id on google drive when you download it http://i.imgur.com/3pYvwjx.png
