How to convert ODS to PDF in Python

Today, we would like to help you with converting an Office Open Document Spreadsheet ODS to a PDF. Sounds complicated, but thankfully, we’ve created a simple two-step process to help you convert between the two. We will be using the Cloudmersive API in this time-efficient process.

Step One: Install the Cloudmersive Convert API Client:

pip install cloudmersive-convert-api-client

Step Two: Have the API call the function:

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import cloudmersive_convert_api_client
from cloudmersive_convert_api_client.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint
# Configure API key authorization: Apikey
configuration = cloudmersive_convert_api_client.Configuration()
configuration.api_key['Apikey'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
# Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
# configuration.api_key_prefix['Apikey'] = 'Bearer'
# create an instance of the API class
api_instance = cloudmersive_convert_api_client.ConvertDocumentApi(cloudmersive_convert_api_client.ApiClient(configuration))
input_file = '/path/to/file' # file | Input file to perform the operation on.
try:
# Convert Office Open Document Spreadsheet ODS to PDF
api_response = api_instance.convert_document_ods_to_pdf(input_file)
pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling ConvertDocumentApi->convert_document_ods_to_pdf: %s\n" % e)

Fantastic! You have completed the process for converting an Office Open Document Spreadsheet to a PDF.

Now it’s relaxation time.
