Release notes Download from PyPI Online app

GroupDocs.Editor for Python via .NET is a document-editing API built around an HTML round-trip: load a document, convert it to clean, editable HTML/CSS, edit that markup in any WYSIWYG editor or programmatically, then save it back to the original format — or convert it to another. It works with Word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF, email, eBooks, and text/markup formats through one unified API, with no MS Office or OpenOffice installation required.

from groupdocs.editor import Editor

# Load a document, convert it to editable HTML, and read its body content
with Editor("document.docx") as editor:
    editable = editor.edit()
    html = editable.get_body_content()
    print(html)

• HTML round-trip editing: Convert any supported document to editable HTML/CSS and save it back without losing fidelity.
• Multi-format: Word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF, email, eBooks, and text/markup, all behind one API.
• Format conversion: Save an edited document with a different *SaveOptions to convert it (for example DOCX → PDF or DOCX → Markdown) via the HTML intermediate.
• Granular editing: Edit a single worksheet, a single slide, or a page range; toggle pagination and language metadata.
• Resource extraction: Pull out a document’s images, fonts, CSS, and audio as separate resources.

GroupDocs.Editor supports a wide range of file formats. For a complete list, see the full list of supported formats.

• Word Processing (DOC, DOCX, DOCM, DOT, ODT, RTF)
• Spreadsheets (XLS, XLSX, XLSM, ODS, CSV, TSV)
• Presentations (PPT, PPTX, PPS, ODP)
• Fixed-Layout (PDF, XPS)
• Email (EML, MSG, MBOX, MHTML)
• eBooks (EPUB, MOBI, AZW3)
• Text & Markup (HTML, XML, JSON, Markdown, TXT)

To get started, refer to the System Requirements, Supported Document Formats, Installation, and Quick Start Guide sections for setup instructions.
