It seems to be a trend when trying to write to inexistent files: pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, None, None, None, 0, -2147352565), None)

To have more consistent path variables, I would recommend using the os package. You can be more sure about your paths that way. You would then set your path as:

import os
from docx2pdf import convert

path1 = os.path.join("D:/", "Dev2Ease", "PyC", "Output", "Word")
path2 = os.path.join("D:/", "Dev2Ease", "PyC", "Output", "Pdf")
convert(path1, path2)

  • @shall and did this help with the conversion operation from docx to pdf? – Steinn Hauser Magnússon Jun 20 '22 at 15:24

  • still getting same error after making the changes as suggested by you. – shall Jun 20 '22 at 15:29
  • And can you open the file with no issues on your machine? Is it maybe that you don't have the `.docx` and `.pdf` extensions in your filenames? – Steinn Hauser Magnússon Jun 20 '22 at 15:49
  • yeah.. i am to open the files... no issues....Also, i have the word file saved as .docx and the converted files to pdf has .pdf extension. But i still get the error. – shall Jun 20 '22 at 16:12
  • still waiting.. if someone could provide a solution to this – shall Jun 22 '22 at 10:23
  • or is there a way i can make to run in silent mode with in python,... is there any switch in python which i can use... without any text displayed on screen (thereby suppressing the error) – shall Jun 22 '22 at 13:38
  • @shall if this is a bottleneck in your project and you require a solution, could you post a dropbox link where one could download the docx file and try to run the code themselves? Makes it easier to pinpoint where the actual error is – Steinn Hauser Magnússon Jun 22 '22 at 14:36
