Answer 1

I got the same thing and the same error... ANSWER: 57.... see below...

import win32api

    excel = client.DispatchEx("Excel.Application")
    excel.Visible = 0

    wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(doc)
    ws = wb.Worksheets[1]

    try:
        wb.SaveAs('c:\\targetfolder\\result.pdf', FileFormat=57)

        print "Failed to convert"
        print str(e)
    finally:
        wb.Close()
        excel.Quit()
