I followed this python code from the given link. https://stackoverflow.com/a/63255120/7940894 posted by https://stackoverflow.com/users/10655543/omkar

    import win32com.client
    import pythoncom
    import sys
    word = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Word.Application")
    wb1 = word.Documents.Open(sys.path[0]+'\\'+pdf, pythoncom.CoInitialize())
    import time
    time.sleep(3)
    wb1.SaveAs(doc, FileFormat=16, Encoding='utf-8')
    wb1.close()
    word.Quit()

this is my code...

and this is the error.

  • Oddly, the Word Document object does not have a SaveAs method: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/word.saveas2 In the `SaveAs2` function that `Encoding` is not a string but a constant: msoEncodingUTF8 = 65001. Go to your %AppData%\Local\Temp\gen_py folder and delete everything. Remove the pythoncom stuff, you don't need that. – DS_London Oct 10 '22 at 18:18
