It is possible to convert a PDF to a word document by keeping all formatting, alignments, fonts and tables in the converted document, using apache-poi or some other api?

What format Doc do you want? (. doc or . docx)?

One of the ways to convert multiple text formats (open office and microsoft office) is to install Libre office on your pc. Then you get Jodconverter and you do this:

File inputFile = new File("document.doc");
File outputFile = new File("document.pdf");

// connect to an OpenOffice.org instance running on port 8100
OpenOfficeConnection connection = new SocketOpenOfficeConnection(8100);
connection.connect();

// convert
DocumentConverter converter = new OpenOfficeDocumentConverter(connection);
converter.convert(inputFile, outputFile);

// close the connection
connection.disconnect();

Note: Beware of the Libre office instance

Apache POI is able to do this (Apache TIKA is more complete but also "heavier"). Itext also almost certainly does this.
