# Setup directories and define paths
output_dir = "output/"
input_dir = "data/"
os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)

document_path = os.path.join(input_dir, "document.mht")
save_path = os.path.join(output_dir, "document.docx")

# Open an existing MHTML file for reading
with open(document_path, "rb") as stream:

    # Create an instance of DocSaveOptions
    options = sav.DocSaveOptions()
    options.page_setup.any_page.size = dr.Size(1000, 800)
    options.document_format.DOCX
    options.css.media_type.SCREEN

    # Convert MHTML to DOCX
    conv.Converter.convert_mhtml(stream, options, save_path)

Save Options – DocSaveOptions Class

Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET allows converting MHTML to DOCX using default or custom save options. DocSaveOptions class is configured to save the document as DOCX and it includes the following properties:

• page_setup – This property lets you define the page’s layout, including page size, margins, and other layout aspects, ensuring the output document matches the desired format.
• document_format – This property sets the file format of the output document. The default is DOCX.
• horizontal_resolution – This property sets or gets the horizontal resolution for internal images in pixels per inch. By default, it is 300 dpi. Higher resolutions can produce better rendering quality but larger file sizes. This property allows you to control the trade-offs between quality and file size.
• vertical_resolution – This property sets or gets the vertical resolution for internal images in pixels per inch. By default, it is 300 dpi. Similar to horizontal_resolution, this controls the vertical resolution of documents, affecting their clarity and overall size.
• background_color – This property allows you to set the background color for the rendered output. If not set, the default background is transparent.
• css – This property gets a CssOptions object, which is used to configure CSS properties processing. For example, the css.media_type property specifies different styles for different media types, ensuring that the correct CSS rules are applied based on how the document is being rendered.
• font_embedding_rule – This property sets the rule for embedding fonts and controls whether and how fonts are embedded in the output document. The default value is NONE.

Some properties of this class inherit properties of base classes, such as DocRenderingOptions or RenderingOptions.
