groupdocs-editor-python-net-home

GroupDocs.Editor for Python via .NET is a powerful and lightweight library which allows you to edit the most popular document formats using third-party front-end WYSIWYG HTML editors without any additional software.

GroupDocs.Editor supports most of the popular document formats such as PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, XPS and others.

By using GroupDocs.Editor for Python via .NET you can edit files of various formats and no third-party applications are required.

How GroupDocs.Editor Works?

GroupDocs.Editor is a Python library (distributed as a self-contained wheel) designed to let you load documents of different formats, open them for editing, edit them, and save the edited version to some format, which may be exactly the same as the input, or may differ. GroupDocs.Editor is GUI-less — it has no graphical interface, only a public API — so it is used within an end-user environment rather than as a standalone application. Although GroupDocs.Editor can be used anywhere Python runs, it is intended to be used in web applications. The most common usage scenario implies that GroupDocs.Editor is used in a web application on the server side. Server-based code invokes GroupDocs.Editor methods, passes input documents and parameters, and obtains results that are transmitted to the client side into a WYSIWYG HTML editor, like CKEditor or TinyMCE. When the user has edited the document in the browser and sends the edited content back to the server, the server-based code again invokes GroupDocs.Editor, passes the edited content, and obtains the edited document in the desired format.
