This brief tutorial will let you convert PLT to PDF in Python. It discusses the steps to prepare the environment and a sample code to create a PLT to PDF converter in Python. Moreover, it also covers different properties to customize the output PDF depending on your needs.
Steps to Convert PLT Files to PDF in Python
- Configure the system environment by installing Aspose.CAD for Python via .NET to convert PLT to a PDF document
- Access the input PLT file with an instance of the Image class
- Initiate an object of the PdfOptions and the CadRasterizationOptions class to specify the size of pages
- Assign the custom properties using the VectorRasterizationOptions object
- Convert the PLT file to a PDF document by invoking the save method
The steps above summarize the process to convert PLT files to PDF in Python. The conversion will start by reading the input PLT file and subsequently setting different rasterization options. Finally, render the PLT file as a PDF document to a memory stream or the disk.
Code to Create PLT to PDF Converter in Python
This code snippet exports AutoCAD PLT to PDF in Python. First of all, the input PLT file is parsed with the Image class and then a CadRasterizationOptions class object is declared to specify custom page dimensions for the generated PDF file. You can use it to set the margins, scaling, zoom, background color, and several other properties to customize the workflow as per your requirements.
