Laravel / Command prompt under windows

Im using larvel 8 and apache 2.4 under windows 10. I need to convert docx files into pdf files, and i found a uselful python script docx2pdf. Now i can simple convert docx using windows command prompt with this command:

docx2pdf example.docx.

Theres a way to call this command in laravel / php? I tried with this without success:

$command=escapeshellcmd("C:\Users\sciccia\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts\docx2pdf.exe c:\test\a.docx");
$output=shell_exec($command);

or with

 $command=escapeshellcmd("docx2pdf c:\test\a.docx");
 $output=shell_exec($command);

Both commands works great in cmd window! Any suggestion? Thanks all!

I solved changing "\" with "/" so right command is:

$command=escapeshellcmd("docx2pdf c:/test/a.docx");
$output=shell_exec($command);

I hope will be useless for someone!!
