There is already: https://github.com/unoconv/unoconv

Converting a PDF to a "doc" will AFAIK generally just work as an ODG
document, if you want to edit the result and not just embed the PDF.

I think you should look for some C++ courses from some local education
providers. Or maybe book some online university courses. These are
normally free, but for a small fee you normally get additional help from
instructors and eventually a certificate.

To start with LO development, you can have a look at
