Office to PDF Python Overview
Our Microsoft Office to PDF Python library converts Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files into pixel-perfect PDFs through a single endpoint, with no Microsoft Office license or installation required. It accepts the full Office range, including modern and legacy formats such as docx, doc, rtf, xlsx, xls, csv, pptx, and ppt, and reproduces your original fonts, images, tables, charts, and page layout exactly.
Open password-protected documents and generate PDF/A output for long-term archiving and compliance. Files are processed on our SOC2-, ISO 27001-, HIPAA-, and GDPR-compliant infrastructure, and you can keep everything in memory or use secure temporary storage that deletes automatically.
From automated invoice and report generation to bulk archiving of signed contracts and presentation decks, the Python library fits straight into your document pipeline. It handles everything from a one-page memo to complex multi-sheet workbooks and image-heavy slides, and over 1,100 companies worldwide rely on it in production.

Pdfa
Bool Default: FalseCreate PDF/A-1b compliant document.
StoreFile
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.
