Make a document using Python

With the given powerful API, Python developers can create documents in almost any format. To do this, you need to follow a few steps using our Python via .NET library:

  1. Add file name
  2. Start creating a document using Python
  3. Save the created document in the selected format

It is worth noting that a blank document is technically supposed to contain one paragraph, so when you programmatically create a document, you will get exactly that basic document structure.

Note that you can instantly add content to a newly created document. Thus, you will get not just an empty document, but a document containing the necessary content. For more information on how to edit a document, see the Editing page.

Create a document in Python programmatically

The given Python via .NET library allows you to programmatically create a document in any supported format – PDF, DOCX, DOC, RTF, ODT, EPUB, HTML and other.

Try our powerful functionality and see how to create a document in some formats using the following example:

Make a new document using Python
Select the target format from the list
Run code
pip install aspose-words
Copy
import aspose.words as aw

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

font = builder.font
font.name = "Courier New"
font.color = drawing.Color.blue
font.size = 36
font.highlight_color = drawing.Color.yellow

builder.write("Morbi enim nunc faucibus a.")
