Hi and welcome to StackOverflow! Is there any specific reason you are using python 3.12 (since it's an early developer beta) — Ftagliacarne, Jan 11 '23 at 12:57
Have you tried another docx file? It is possible that it throws an error only in a specific file. — Jurakin, Jan 11 '23 at 14:43

I recommand you use Python Version 3.10.8 below.
Because Python Version 3.12.0 is Only developer beta.

you follow me. it's very simple.
pip install python-docx
You do it on cmd(terminal).

import docx

# Open the .docs file
doc = docx.Document('document.docs')

# Save the file as pdf
doc.save('document.pdf')
