Load from a stream Leave feedback
When the source document is not a file on disk (e.g., downloaded from a network, read from a database, or received as an upload), you can pass a binary stream directly to the MarkdownConverter constructor.
The stream is copied internally, so you may close it immediately after creating the converter.
from groupdocs.markdown import MarkdownConverter
def load_from_stream():
"""Load a document from a binary stream and convert to Markdown."""
# Step 1: Open the document file as a binary stream
with open("business-plan.docx", "rb") as stream:
# Step 2: Create a converter from the stream
with MarkdownConverter(stream) as converter:
# Step 3: Convert and save the Markdown output
converter.convert("load-from-stream.md")
if __name__ == "__main__":
load_from_stream()
