PDF XChange Forum

I would like to add a converter to our doc converter in-house development service using PDF-XChange Core API SDK. Is it possible to program using Python e.g. accessing the converter with a COM object for example?

The main use is to convert into PDF documents from Office in different formats e.g. A4 or A0.

Thank you,
Ruben

Hi gasparuben

Python is not one of the languages officially supported, however some work has been done on making some of the features available to "other" languages. I have reached out to the development team member who did this work to see if it relates to Python and if so what can be expected to work.

I'm afraid you may find that many features will not be available for such "other" languages as they will require more strict types support.

I should hear something over the next couple of days regards Python specifically and will post here.

Hello gasparuben,

The thing is the the Editor SDK is needed for the doc format conversion. Core API does not support this. Though we have managed to launch a small Python sample.

Cheers,

thank you for your replies!

How much of the features are supported under python? Could I have a look the small Python sample?

Thank you again!

Hello Ruben,

We've published our small sample on Git. Please try it:
