python - Create PDF from Word template in Python

Question

I need to generate reports in python. The report needs to contain a header and footer on each page, some text that won't change, some text that's dynamic, and some charts.

I've created a template using Word, and I'm looking for a way of replacing placeholders such as [+my_placeholder+] with text content/charts/whatever.

Is there anything that can let me use Word documents (or something Word can write) as a template to create a PDF in Python? Since I've already created sample reports in Word I want to reuse what I've got instead of having to recreate them using ReportLab or HTML (I know about ReportLab, pyPDF and also xhtml2pdf).

关于第一部分，编辑word模板，你可以看看这个问题：Reading/Writing MS Word files in Python

有一个用于编辑 word 文件的包，称为python-docx。

要将word文件转换成pdf文档，应该有多种不同的工具，包括命令行工具。因此，您可以使用 python 编辑文档，然后使用从 python 代码调用的转换器工具来创建 pdf。
