I have a function that converts my docx file to pdf file then start it. I tried using (subprocess.popen), (webbrowser.open), (subprocess.call), currently (os.startfile) none worked. It do works fine when i set my exe to –console(console based) via auto-py-to-exe, but i dont want the user to see the shell when starting the app. App just crashes

   def generate_pdf(employee_data, currentid):
   # Prepare the employee rows for the report
   employeerows = []
   for row in employee_data:
    employeerows.append({
        "name": row[0],       # Concatenated lastname and firstname
        "address": row[1],    # Address
        "mobileno": row[2]    # Mobile number
    })

# Load the DocxTemplate
doc = DocxTemplate("employeelist.docx")

conn = sqlite3.connect("brgydb.db")
cur = conn.cursor()

cur.execute("SELECT brgylogo, regionlogo, companyname, address, mobileno FROM globalsetup WHERE idno=?",(currentid,))

row = cur.fetchone()
conn.commit()
