I'm trying to convert word documents to PDF using python.Currently on python 3.8.
import sys
import os
import comtypes.client
wdFormatPDF = 17
in_file = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[1])
out_file = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[2])
word = comtypes.client.CreateObject('Word.Application')
doc = word.Documents.Open(in_file)
doc.SaveAs(out_file, FileFormat=wdFormatPDF)
doc.Close()
word.Quit()
above code answers my question but it works only on my machine when I deploy it onto VM and run it using scheduler remotely, I get below error
File "File Name", line 10, in <module>
word = comtypes.client.CreateObject('Word.Application')
File "Path", init__.py",line1225, in CoCreateInstance
----------------------------------------------------
File"_ctypes/callproc.c",line 930, in getResult
PermissionError:[WinError -2147024891] Access is denied
FYI, word is installed on VM
Thanks
