Let’s see all the things that we can make with pdf files using python.
- convert all docx into pdf files
Convert all docx into pdf files
This code converts all the docx in a folder into corrispondent pdf files. I called this docpdf.
Converts all docx to pdf
The code
import os
import win32com.client
import re
path = os.getcwd()
# path = (r'G:\\programmi firmare studenti\\programma firma studenti 20 21\\')
word_file_names = []
word = win32com.client.Dispatch('Word.Application')
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(path):
for f in filenames:
if f.lower().endswith(".docx") :
new_name = f.replace(".docx", ".pdf")
in_file =(dirpath + '/'+ f)
new_file =(dirpath + '/' + new_name)
doc = word.Documents.Open(f"{in_file}")
doc.SaveAs(new_file, FileFormat = 17)
doc.Close()
if f.lower().endswith(".doc"):
new_name = f.replace(".doc", ".pdf")
in_file =(dirpath +'/' + f)
new_file =(dirpath +'/' + new_name)
doc = word.Documents.Open(in_file)
doc.SaveAs(new_file, FileFormat = 17)
doc.Close()
word.Quit()
A slightly different code to make the same thing
import os
import comtypes.client
wdFormatPDF = 17
x = 0
for f in os.listdir():
if f.endswith(".docx"):
in_file = os.path.abspath(f)
out_file = os.path.abspath("demo" + str(x) + ".pdf")
word = comtypes.client.CreateObject('Word.Application')
doc = word.Documents.Open(in_file)
doc.SaveAs(out_file, FileFormat=wdFormatPDF)
doc.Close()
x += 1
word.Quit()
Convert all docx in pdf and merge all of them in one file
Modifing the code a little bit, with the use of the PdfFIleMerger class from PyPDF2, we can also merge all the pdf generated from the word documents into one pdf containing all the other.
import os
import glob
import comtypes.client
from PyPDF2 import PdfMerger
def docx_to_pdf(word, file, x):
input_file = os.path.abspath(file)
output_file = os.path.abspath("demo" + str(x) + ".pdf")
# loads each word document
doc = word.Documents.Open(input_file)
doc.SaveAs(output_file, FileFormat=16+1)
doc.Close() # Closes the document, not the application
return output_file
def docx1pdf():
"""docxs to pdfs"""
word = comtypes.client.CreateObject('Word.Application')
pdfslist = PdfMerger()
# Remember to close the Word Application
x = 0
# saves as pdf all docx
for f in glob.glob("*.docx"):
output_file = docx_to_pdf(word, f, x)
pdfslist.append(open(output_file, 'rb'))
x += 1
word.Quit()
# unite all pdfs i n one pdf
with open("result.pdf", "wb") as result_pdf:
pdfslist.write(result_pdf)
docx1pdf()
