DWF to PDF Python Overview
Convert AutoCAD DWF/DWFX drawings to high‑quality PDF for review, sharing, and archiving. Select model or paper space (or provide a custom space), export layers as needed, and auto‑fit content to the page. Control page size and orientation or specify exact width/height for consistent results, and choose an output color space tuned for PDF. Designed for automation, the Python library produces predictable output across varied drawings and layouts without requiring desktop tools.

Collection Default: portraitSet PDF page orientation. The property will only work if the PageSize property is also set.
Values: portrait landscapePageHeight
IntegerCustom page height in millimeters (mm). This option override PageSize option.
Range: 10 .. 30000PageWidth
IntegerCustom page width in millimeters (mm). This option override PageSize option.
Range: 10 .. 30000ColorSpace
Collection Default: truecolorsSet output color space.
Values: truecolors grayscale monochromeStoreFile
Bool Default: FalseWhen the StoreFile parameter is set to True, your converted file is written to ConvertAPI’s encrypted, temporary storage and made available via a time-limited secure download URL, valid for up to 3 hours. After this period, the file is permanently deleted.
When StoreFile is set to False, conversion happens entirely in-memory. The raw file bytes are streamed back in the API response without touching disk or external storage, ensuring maximum security and zero persistence so that only you can access the content.
