Convert EML to PCL using Python
EML to PCL conversion in your Python Applications without installing Microsoft Word® or Outlook.
Why to Convert
The need to convert EML to PCL arises when a Python developer wants to add a feature within an application that allows users to convert emails into PCL format. PCL is a page description language developed by Hewlett-Packard that is used to print documents on a wide variety of printers. It is a popular format for printing documents, and is often used in business settings.
How Aspose.Total Helps for EML to PCL Conversion
Aspose.Total for Python via .NET is a full package of various APIs dealing different formats including Email, Images and Microsoft Word formats. It provides a comprehensive set of APIs that can be used to automate the conversion process from EML to PCL. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and Aspose.Email for Python via .NET, which make the conversion process easy and efficient.
The conversion process is a two-step process. Firstly, the EML file is loaded and rendered into HTML using Aspose.Email for Python via .NET. Secondly, the converted HTML is loaded using Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and saved into the respective Word PCL format. This process is simple and straightforward, and can be easily implemented in any Python application.
Aspose.Total for Python via .NET is a powerful and reliable API that can be used to automate the conversion process from EML to PCL. It is easy to use and provides a comprehensive set of APIs that can be used to quickly and efficiently convert emails into PCL format.
How to Convert EML to PCL in Python
- Open the source EML file using MailMessage.load class
- Call the
savemethod while specifying output HTML file path and relevant HTML Save options as parameter. So your EML file is converted to HTML at the specified path - Now Load the saved HTML file using Document
- Call the save method with relevant file path. So finally the EML is converted
Conversion Requirements
- For EML to PCL conversion, Python 3.5 or later is required
- Reference APIs within the project directly from PyPI ( Aspose.Words and Aspose.Email )
- Or use the following pip command
pip install aspose.wordsandpip install Aspose.Email-for-Python-via-NET - Moreover, Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS (see more for Words and Email ) and for Linux check additional requirements for gcc and libpython and follow step by step instructions INSTALL
