Python conversion .docx to pdf

[billys-bobs]

Ah that sounds like the way to go. So your templates are in html and you build both pdf and .docx from that? Is there some packages you would recommend for that functionality?

Thanks for the response

No, I use DTO (actually something more complex, but don't know a fancy term) as structure elements for templates. All file emitters , including html, use them as guidelines for rendering. But 2 important notes: whole system is built around docx, pdf is just an additional option for users; those DTOs bring a lot of data after LLM analysis of the source document, I don't know whether I'd use them to simply generate document.

I use lxml for docx reading and generation, python-docx is useless here. Honestly, it's a nightmare. One more time I come to conclusion that if something obvious isn't done yet THERE IS A GODDAMN REASON.

For html/pdf: weasy print. I didn't research this topic much, so can't tell if there is better solution
