PDF Operations

Install

pip install fpdf reportlab pdfplumber pymupdf pypdf

Create PDF

from fpdf import FPDF

pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Helvetica", size=12)
pdf.cell(0, 10, "Hello World", ln=True)
pdf.output("document.pdf")

Create PDF with Images

from fpdf import FPDF

pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.image("photo.jpg", x=10, y=10, w=100)

Extract Text from PDF

import pdfplumber

with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
    for page in pdf.pages:
        print(page.extract_text())

Merge PDFs

from pypdf import PdfMerger

merger = PdfMerger()

merger.write("merged.pdf")
merger.close()

Split PDF

from pypdf import PdfReader, PdfWriter

reader = PdfReader("document.pdf")
writer = PdfWriter()

for i in range(0, 5):  # First 5 pages
    writer.add_page(reader.pages[i])

with open("split.pdf", "wb") as f:
    writer.write(f)

doc.add_heading("Report Title", level=0)
doc.add_paragraph("This is a paragraph.")
doc.add_paragraph("Bold text", style="Intense Quote")
doc.save("report.docx")

Add Table

from docx import Document

doc = Document()
table = doc.add_table(rows=3, cols=2)

# Header row
hdr_cells = table.rows[0].cells
hdr_cells[0].text = "Name"
hdr_cells[1].text = "Value"

# Data rows
row = table.rows[1].cells

XLSX (Excel) Operations

Install

pip install openpyxl pandas xlsxwriter

Create Workbook

from openpyxl import Workbook

wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.active
ws.title = "Sheet1"

# Headers
ws["A1"] = "Name"
ws["B1"] = "Value"

# Data
ws["A2"] = "Revenue"
ws["B2"] = 1000000

# Formula
ws["A3"] = "Total"
ws["B3"] = "=SUM(B2:B2)"

wb.save("data.xlsx")

Create with Pandas

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    "Name": ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"],
    "Score": [85, 92, 78]
})

df.to_excel("scores.xlsx", index=False)

Add Charts

from openpyxl import Workbook
from openpyxl.chart import BarChart, Reference

wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.active

# Data
ws["A1"] = "Month"
ws["B1"] = "Sales"
data = [("Jan", 100), ("Feb", 150), ("Mar", 200)]
for i, (month, sales) in enumerate(data, 2):
    ws[f"A{i}"] = month
    ws[f"B{i}"] = sales

# Chart
chart = BarChart()
chart.add_data(Reference(ws, min_col=2, min_row=1, max_row=4))
chart.set_categories(Reference(ws, min_col=1, min_row=2, max_row=4))
chart.title = "Monthly Sales"
ws.add_chart(chart, "D1")

wb.save("chart.xlsx")

Read Workbook

from openpyxl import load_workbook

wb = load_workbook("data.xlsx")
ws = wb.active

for row in ws.iter_rows(values_only=True):
    print(row)

Format Cells

from openpyxl.styles import Font, PatternFill, Alignment
from openpyxl import Workbook

wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.active

# Bold header
ws["A1"] = "Header"
ws["A1"].font = Font(bold=True, size=14)

# Background color
ws["A1"].fill = PatternFill(start_color="4472C4", fill_type="solid")
ws["A1"].font = Font(color="FFFFFF", bold=True)

# Center align
ws["A1"].alignment = Alignment(horizontal="center")

wb.save("formatted.xlsx")

PPTX (PowerPoint) Operations

Install

pip install python-pptx

Create Presentation

from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches, Pt

prs = Presentation()

# Title slide
slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[0]
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(slide_layout)
title = slide.shapes.title
subtitle = slide.placeholders[1]
title.text = "Presentation Title"
subtitle.text = "Subtitle here"

prs.save("presentation.pptx")

Add Bullet Slide

from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches

prs = Presentation()
slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[1]  # Title and Content
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(slide_layout)

title = slide.shapes.title
title.text = "Key Points"

body = slide.placeholders[1]
tf = body.text_frame
tf.text = "First point"

p = tf.add_paragraph()
p.text = "Second point"
p.level = 1  # Indent

prs.save("bullets.pptx")

Add Image

from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches

prs = Presentation()
slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[5]  # Blank
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(slide_layout)

slide.shapes.add_picture("chart.png", Inches(1), Inches(1), width=Inches(8))

prs.save("with_image.pptx")

Add Table

from pptx import Presentation
from pptx.util import Inches

prs = Presentation()
slide_layout = prs.slide_layouts[5]  # Blank
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(slide_layout)

rows, cols = 4, 3
table = slide.shapes.add_table(rows, cols, Inches(1), Inches(1), Inches(8), Inches(3)).table

# Set headers
table.cell(0, 0).text = "Name"
table.cell(0, 1).text = "Q1"
table.cell(0, 2).text = "Q2"

# Set data
table.cell(1, 0).text = "Alice"
table.cell(1, 1).text = "100"
table.cell(1, 2).text = "150"

prs.save("table.pptx")

Common Workflows

Report Generation

from docx import Document

doc = Document()
doc.add_heading("Monthly Report", level=0)
doc.add_paragraph("Generated automatically by agent.")

# Add summary table
table = doc.add_table(rows=3, cols=2)
table.style = "Table Grid"
table.rows[0].cells[0].text = "Metric"
table.rows[0].cells[1].text = "Value"
table.rows[1].cells[0].text = "Revenue"
table.rows[1].cells[1].text = "$1,000,000"
table.rows[2].cells[0].text = "Users"
table.rows[2].cells[1].text = "5,000"

doc.save("report.docx")

    "Date": pd.date_range("2026-01-01", periods=30),
    "Revenue": [1000 + i * 50 for i in range(30)]
})

# Save with formatting
df.to_excel("daily_revenue.xlsx", index=False)

# Add chart
wb = load_workbook("daily_revenue.xlsx")
ws = wb.active

chart = BarChart()
chart.add_data(Reference(ws, min_col=2, min_row=1, max_row=31))
