Convert doc and docx files to pdf (Python)

2014-03-31T18:39:16-07:00

Python recipe 578858 by Fabian Mayer (doc, pdf, python, win32com). Revision 2.

The Script converts all doc and docx files in a specified folder to pdf files. It checks whether the provided absolute path does actually exist and whether the specified folder contains any doc and docx files. It does not travers the directory recursively. The script is not portable and runs only a Windows machine. Based on the experience I made, I recommend closing MS Word before running the script.

[xtopdf] Publish Delimiter-Separated Values (DSV data) to PDF (Python)

2016-12-17T19:08:33-08:00

Python recipe 580736 by Vasudev Ram (commandline, csv, data, files, formats, pdf, pdf_generation, python, tsv, utilities, xtopdf).

This recipe shows how to publish delimiter-separated values (a commonly used tabular data format) to PDF, using the xtopdf toolkit for PDF creation. It lets the user specify the delimiter via one of two command-line options - an ASCII code or an ASCII character.

In the case of multiple inputs via files, each input goes to a separate PDF output file.

Python-controlled Unix pipeline to generate PDF (Python)

2016-01-07T18:02:52-08:00

Python recipe 579146 by Vasudev Ram (linux, pdf, pdf_generation, pipe, pipelining, python, python2, unix).

This recipe shows how to create a Unix pipeline that generates PDF output, under the control of a Python program. It is tested on Linux. It uses nl, a standard Linux command that adds line numbers to its input, and selpg, a custom Linux command-line utility, that selects only specified pages from its input, together in a pipeline (nl | selpg). The Python program sets up and starts that pipeline running, and then reads input from it and generates PDF output.
