Word Documents SaveAs PDF Documents

[vonyang]

I have a .docx file, and I want it to convert it into a PDF file, is there any method to do it using python-docx, I know that with pywin32 is easy to do it. Also, I want to save it as a stream and not in a file, using 'io' (BytesIO) library.

No. And there is unlikely ever to be such a feature in python-docx because it is essentially a document format conversion operation, which is a distinct "space" so to speak.

You can look into pandoc for this or one of the other options mentioned in this StackExchange question: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/105584/convert-a-docx-to-a-pdf-with-pandoc

From a quick read of that post it sounds like there are some passable solutions, none of which I'm sure are as clean as what Word itself would produce.
