FAQs

How does pBinder convert .py files to PDF offline?

pBinder first generates a DOCX file locally from your Python project. If Microsoft Word is installed on your system, pBinder can then automatically export this DOCX document to a PDF file, providing a fully offline conversion process.

What are the limitations of the free trial for pBinder?

The 14-day free trial for pBinder allows preview-mode exports. Each export is limited to 2,000 lines, and there's a total budget of 10,000 lines across all exports during the trial period.

Can pBinder process files other than Python code, like Markdown or Jupyter notebooks?

Yes, pBinder can batch-convert .md, .ipynb, .json, and .yaml files. These can be processed standalone or as part of a larger Python project. However, automatic cross-reference hyperlinks are only generated for .py files.
