I'm looking for effective ways to convert PDF files to DOCX format using Python, ideally with a layout that closely matches the original. Any suggestions or libraries that can achieve this?

Check out the Pdf2docx library! I've used it before and it works reasonably well for this type of task. You can find more information on PyPI.
You might want to check out GitHub for repositories that handle PDF to DOCX conversion. A search for "PDF DOCX" on GitHub revealed some projects with good ratings. Just keep in mind that some library documentation might not be in English, so use a translation tool if needed.
Instead of using a dedicated library for each programming language, consider having a standalone program handle the conversion. This allows your program to communicate with it, possibly through inter-process communication. You could search for terminal programs designed for PDF to DOCX conversion that can be called from your Python code.
For more accurate conversions, especially if you need pixel-perfect results, using LibreOffice in headless mode or a commercial API might provide better quality than Python libraries alone.
