Convert rtf to pdf using python

Question

I am new to python and I am tasked with converting rtf to pdf using python. I googled and found some code (not really rtf to pdf), but I tried to work on it and changed it according to my requirement. But I can’t solve it.

I used the code below:

import sys
import os
import comtypes.client
#import win32com.client
rtfFormatPDF = 17

in_file = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[1])
out_file = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[2])

rtf= comtypes.client.CreateObject('Rtf.Application')

rtf.Visible = True
doc = rtf.Documents.Open(in_file)
doc.SaveAs(out_file, FileFormat=rtfFormatPDF)
doc.Close()
rtf.Quit()

But his throwing errors below

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python34/Lib/idlelib/rtf_to_pdf.py", line 12, in <module>
    word = comtypes.client.CreateObject('Rtf.Application')
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\comtypes\client\__init__.py", line 227, in CreateObject
    clsid = comtypes.GUID.from_progid(progid)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\comtypes\GUID.py", line 78, in from_progid
    _CLSIDFromProgID(str(progid), byref(inst))
  File "_ctypes/callproc.c", line 920, in GetResult
OSError: [WinError -2147221005] Invalid class string

Can anyone help me with this? I would really appreciate if anyone could find a better and faster way to do this. I have about 200,000 files to convert.

for subdir, dirs, files in os.walk(input_dir):
    for file in files:
