The package requires Python 3.10 or later.

import minipdf

minipdf.convert_to_pdf("report.docx", "report.pdf")
pdf_bytes = minipdf.convert_to_pdf_bytes("report.docx")

Command Line

minipdf convert report.docx -o report.pdf

Initial Scope

Version 0.1 supports document page geometry, margins, paragraphs, explicit page breaks, and basic bold, italic, and font-size run formatting. Text currently uses PDF built-in Latin fonts. Tables, images, embedded fonts, CJK/RTL shaping, headers, footers, and lists are not yet supported. XLSX rendering currently extracts common cell value types into text rows, while PPTX rendering extracts paragraph text and preserves slide page dimensions and boundaries.
