Convert Image to PDF in Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET lets you place a raster image on a slide and export the presentation as a PDF document. Add the image to Presentation.images, create a picture frame with ShapeCollection.add_picture_frame, and call Presentation.save with SaveFormat.PDF.

The example below creates a one-page PDF whose page size matches the source image. This workflow preserves the image’s aspect ratio and does not require Microsoft PowerPoint or a PDF printer.
