Python + Syncfusion Document SDK Samples

A simple, fast solution for creating Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), and PDF documents from Python using the Syncfusion .NET Document SDK.

Microsoft Office is not required. All document processing runs locally.

---

Prerequisites

Ensure the following prerequisites are installed:

• .NET 10.0 LTS SDK
• Python 3.9+
• Syncfusion .NET Document SDK packages:
  • Syncfusion.DocIORenderer.Net.Core
  • Syncfusion.XlsIORenderer.Net.Core
  • Syncfusion.PresentationRenderer.Net.Core
  • Syncfusion.Pdf.Net.Core

Quickstart

Choose either approach based on your needs:

Approach	Folder	Best For	Python Packages
Approach 1: Local .NET Worker	local-dotnet-worker/	Subprocess isolation, CLI workflows	Zero pip packages
Approach 2: Python.NET Wrapper	pythonnet-wrapper/	In-process execution, high-performance loops	pip install pythonnet (if not installed)

---

Approach 1: Local .NET Worker (Zero Pip Dependencies)

1. Navigate and publish the .NET worker:

   cd local-dotnet-worker
   dotnet publish DocumentBridge/DocumentBridge.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained false -o artifacts

2. Generate documents via CLI:

   python document_sdk.py create-docx
   python document_sdk.py create-pdf

3. Run samples:

   python -m samples.01_hello_world
   python -m samples.02_batch_invoices
   python -m samples.04_excel_to_pdf
   python -m samples.05_powerpoint_to_pdf
   python -m samples.06_watermark_pdf

---

Approach 2: Python.NET Wrapper (In-Process Execution)

1. Navigate and publish the class library:

   cd pythonnet-wrapper
   dotnet publish DocumentBridge/DocumentBridge.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained false -o artifacts

2. Install pythonnet (only if not already installed):

   pip install pythonnet

   (Skip this step if pythonnet is already installed in your Python environment).

3. Generate documents via CLI:

   python document_sdk.py create-docx
   python document_sdk.py create-pdf

4. Run samples:

   python -m samples.01_hello_world
   python -m samples.02_batch_invoices
   python -m samples.04_excel_to_pdf
   python -m samples.05_powerpoint_to_pdf
   python -m samples.06_watermark_pdf

Platform Note: If running on non-Windows platforms, replace -r win-x64 with -r linux-x64, -r osx-arm64, or -r osx-x64.
