Convert PDF to Word using Python

Cloud API allows you to convert PDF to a Word document or other supported file format with Python.

import asposewordscloud
from asposewordscloud.models.requests import ConvertDocumentRequest

configuration = asposewordscloud.Configuration()
configuration.host = 'https://api.aspose.cloud'
configuration.api_key['api_key'] = '####'
configuration.api_key['app_sid'] = '####-####-####-####-####'
words_api = asposewordscloud.WordsApi(asposewordscloud.ApiClient(configuration))

request = ConvertDocumentRequest(document='Sample.pdf', format='docx')
result = words_api.convert_document(request)
print('Result {}'.format(result))

Convert Word documents using Python

Get a quick and reliable conversion of Word documents to other leading file-formats including PDF where output conforms to PDF 1.5 or PDF/A-1b specifications. Get an ability to extract Word document contents or save file contents as a plain TXT file. Be amazed by great fidelity of output when performing Word to EPUB conversion because the content, formatting, images, hyperlinks, and navigation will work in any EPUB compliant reader.

Our Python SDK is also capable of converting DOCX document page to raster images (JPG, GIF, PNG) or vector images (SVG, EMF), with the highest degree of precision. Last but not the least, get same high-fidelity page layout of rendering engine to produce output in fixed-layout format when dealing with Word to PDF conversion in Python.

Please note that Aspose.Words Cloud ensures that the converted documents are produced according to the target file's standards and specifications so that the resultant file can easily be loaded within the native tools.

Python DOCX

Aspose.Words Cloud Python SDK is a Python library that provides the full control of your Word documents. Use mail merge, modify text, edit footnotes, bookmarks, comments, protect, draw objects and watermarks in DOCX documents with Python. Work with text, page numbering, headers & footers, paragraphs and other document elements programmatically.

Mail merge and report generation

Aspose.Words Cloud allows Python developers to use standard or more complex mail merge operations such as inserting images or repeatable regions in reports. You can use templates for report generation in Microsoft Word and then allow Aspose.Words Cloud to populate documents with data from XML or JSON.

Work with Tables in a Word document

It's often required to use tabular presentation in Word documents, lined up with rows and columns. Python developers are able to add or delete the table from a Word document, to extract table information from a Word document.

Add watermark to a Word document

Our Python library supports manipulating individual document elements including text, images, annotations, bookmarks, tables, hyperlinks, shapes and so on. All the operations on these elements can be performed with the help of a simple REST-based interface in the cloud. There are many reasons why you should use our REST API in Python. It provides the feature to add as well as remove any existing watermark from Word document in Python. It also provides the feature to add Watermark Text inside the Word document. In order to add a watermark image, you need to upload the image to Cloud storage and then reference the same image during the watermarking process. The feature to delete watermark is also as simple as addition and all you need to do is call a simple method to remove the watermarks from document.
