After thinking about this for a bit … I thought that if the COM object is
doing this and there’s no way to fix that behavior, you should be able to
change the file name AFTER the COM object is done, via python like so.
# this works on my W10 PC
import os
# make sure the file handle and or COM object is done locking the DOCX file
first
os.rename('c:\\somedir\\this%5Bproject_id%5D_date.docx',
'c:\\somedir\\this[project_id]_date.docx')
Obviously, if the escaping works like Chris suggests, you wouldn’t need this.

Hi,
I am not sure If I gto the context, it is hard to understand what you have done
witht he limited description.
But I guess you passed a filename to a COM object ?
Try to escape the brackets.
And check for problems arising a) from the different notation conventions for
pathnames and b) differences in unicode treatment in Python an COM.

Hi,
My docx file name contains brackets ([ and ]) and those brackets were changed
to %5B and %5D after I convert the docx to pdf.
e.g.
before: name_[project_id]_date.docx
after: name_%5Bproject_id%5D_date.pdf
I've searched
Document.ExportAsFixedFormat<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/word.document.exportasfixedformat>
method (Word) and didn't find any option to change this behavior.
Is there any way to keep the brackets in file name?
Version of Python and pywin32:
Python v3.8.10, pywin32 v300
Best regards
Jeffery
