Cause
The error message you’re encountering indicates that the package aspose-pdf
is not available for your version of Python (3.13) on macOS. This can happen if the package has not been published for that specific version or if there are compatibility issues.
Solution
To install Aspose.PDF for Python on macOS, you can use the Aspose.PDF for Python via Java package instead. This package allows you to utilize Aspose.PDF functionalities through a Java bridge, which is compatible with Python.
Code
Here’s how you can install it:
First, ensure you have Java Development Kit (JDK) installed (version 1.8 or higher).
Install JPype, which allows Python to interface with Java:
pip install JPype1
Then, install the Aspose.PDF for Python via Java package:
pip install aspose-pdf-for-python-via-java
After installation, you can use it in your Python scripts like this:
import jpype
import jpype.imports
from jpype.types import *
# Start the JVM
jpype.startJVM()
# Import Aspose.PDF classes
from com.aspose.pdf import Document
# Create a PDF document
pdf = Document()
pdf.getPages().add()
pdf.save("output.pdf")
