# documents and files to Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
#
# The Structured Output module is an optional PDFNet Add-on that can be used to convert PDF
# and other documents into Word, Excel, PowerPoint and HTML format.
#
# The PDFTron SDK Structured Output module can be downloaded from
# https://docs.apryse.com/core/info/modules/
#
# Please contact us if you have any questions.
