First of all, I think this module is awesome as there are nearly no other easy options to convert a docx to a pdf using Python. So if this problem could be solved, I'd be very happy.
I created a script that opens a docx, edit some text variables according to a Tkinter Entry input and then saves it as a new docx. I then want to convert it to a pdf so that I don't need to do that manually but that's the part which I can't get to succeed. I'll share with you my code and all the output it gives me:
from docx import Document
from docx.shared import Pt
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
from tkinter import font as tkfont
from docx2pdf import convert
import docx2pdf
import os
print(docx2pdf.__version__)

Before I added the os.chmod(path, 0o777), it would ask me for permission. After I added that, it wouldn't ask me for permission anymore but it still didn't work. In this SO question, I've also asked my question. After running the above code, it gives me
0%| | 0/1 [00:02<?, ?it/s]
It then opens the file in MS Word but doesn't do anything in Word and then it gives me:
{'input': '/Users/Jem/Documents/Huurovereenkomsten/Specifiek/slotlaan73/contractabc.docx', 'output': '/Users/Jem/Documents/Huurovereenkomsten/Specifiek/slotlaan73/contractabc.pdf', 'result': 'error', 'error': 'Error: Er heeft zich een fout voorgedaan.'}
'Er heeft zich een fout voorgedaan.' is Dutch for: an error has occurred.
Really hoping you can find a solution for this because, as said, I think this module can be very useful.
