Convert XFA Form to PDF using Python REST API

Python REST API lets you seamlessly transform dynamic XFA forms into static PDF documents. In this short tutorial you’ll learn how to convert an XFA form to a regular PDF using the Aspose.PDF Cloud SDK for Python, covering the required prerequisites, step‑by‑step instructions, and a ready‑to‑run code sample.

Prerequisite

Steps to Convert XFA to PDF using Python RESTful Service

  1. Instantiate the PdfApi class by providing your client secret and client ID.
  2. Define the name of the XFA form file you want to convert.
  3. Read the XFA file into a byte array.
  4. Create a memory stream from the byte array containing the XFA data.
  5. Upload the memory stream to Aspose Cloud storage.
  6. Call the GetXfaPdfInStorageToAcroForm() method to convert the stored XFA file to a regular PDF.
  7. Parse the response and write the resulting PDF to disk.

These steps outline the complete workflow for converting an XFA Form to PDF using the Python Low‑Code API. Begin by loading the source XFA file into a MemoryStream, upload it to cloud storage, and finally invoke GetXfaPdfInStorageToAcroForm() to obtain a static PDF with embedded form fields.

Code to Convert XFA PDF to Normal PDF using Python RESTful Service

The sample demonstrates how to convert a dynamic XFA PDF into a static PDF using the Python Low‑Code API. Dynamic forms that resize or change based on user input are flattened into a fixed layout where fields remain static, thanks to the GetXfaPdfInStorageToAcroForm() method. The API response contains the normal PDF bytes, which you can then save locally.
