Examples
Convert DOCX to PDF
from groupdocs.conversion import Converter
from groupdocs.conversion.options.convert import PdfConvertOptions
with Converter("./business-plan.docx") as converter:
converter.convert("./business-plan.pdf", PdfConvertOptions())
Convert with Advanced Options
from groupdocs.conversion import Converter
from groupdocs.conversion.options.convert import PdfConvertOptions
from groupdocs.conversion.options.load import WordProcessingLoadOptions
load_options = WordProcessingLoadOptions()
load_options.password = "12345"
with Converter("./protected.docx", load_options) as converter:
options = PdfConvertOptions()
options.dpi = 300
options.page_number = 1
options.pages_count = 2
converter.convert("./output.pdf", options)
Get Document Info
from groupdocs.conversion import Converter
with Converter("./document.pdf") as converter:
info = converter.get_document_info()
print(f"Pages: {info.pages_count}")
Convert from Stream / BytesIO
import io
from groupdocs.conversion import Converter
from groupdocs.conversion.options.convert import PdfConvertOptions
with open("document.docx", "rb") as stream:
with Converter(stream) as converter:
converter.convert("output.pdf", PdfConvertOptions())
buf = io.BytesIO(downloaded_bytes)
with Converter(buf) as converter:
converter.convert("output.pdf", PdfConvertOptions())
AI Agent & LLM Friendly
This package is designed for seamless integration with AI agents, LLMs, and automated code generation tools.
AGENTS.md in the package — AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) auto-discover the API surface, usage patterns, and troubleshooting tips from the installed package- MCP server — connect your AI tool to GroupDocs documentation for on-demand API lookups:
{ "mcpServers": { "groupdocs-docs": { "url": "https://docs.groupdocs.com/mcp" } } }
- Machine-readable docs — full documentation available as plain text for RAG and LLM context:
- Single file:
https://docs.groupdocs.com/conversion/python-net/llms-full.txt - Per page: append
.md to any docs URL
Evaluation Mode
The API works without a license in evaluation mode with the following limitations:
- A watermark is added to output documents.
- Only the first 3 pages are processed.
To remove these limitations, apply a license or request a temporary license:
from groupdocs.conversion import License
License().set_license("path/to/license.lic")
Or set the environment variable (auto-applied at import):
export GROUPDOCS_LIC_PATH="path/to/license.lic"
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Platform | Fix |
|---|
System.Drawing.Common is not supported | Linux/macOS | apt-get install libgdiplus (Linux) or brew install mono-libgdiplus (macOS) |
| Garbled text or missing fonts in PDF | Linux | apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer fontconfig && fc-cache -f |
The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception | macOS | brew install mono-libgdiplus |
DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT errors | Linux | Do NOT set this variable. ICU must be available. |
System Requirements
- Python 3.5 - 3.14
- Windows x64/x86, Linux x64, macOS x64/ARM64
