With the help of this .doc to pdf using python Link I am trying for excel (.xlsx and xls formats)
Following is modified Code for Excel:
import os from win32com import client folder = "C:\\Oprance\\Excel\\XlsxWriter-0.5.1" file_type = 'xlsx' out_folder = folder + "\\PDF_excel" os.chdir(folder) if not os.path.exists(out_folder): print 'Creating output folder...' os.makedirs(out_folder) print out_folder, 'created.' else: print out_folder, 'already exists.\n' for files in os.listdir("."): if files.endswith(".xlsx"): print files print '\n\n' word = client.DispatchEx("Excel.Application") for files in os.listdir("."): if files.endswith(".xlsx") or files.endswith('xls'): out_name = files.replace(file_type, r"pdf") in_file = os.path.abspath(folder + "\\" + files) out_file = os.path.abspath(out_folder + "\\" + out_name) doc = word.Workbooks.Open(in_file) print 'Exporting', out_file doc.SaveAs(out_file, FileFormat=56) doc.Close() It is showing following error :
>>> execfile('excel_to_pdf.py') Creating output folder...
