+### SDF to Descriptors/Fingerprints
+
+The "from_sdf" function accepts a filepath as an argument, and returns a list.
+Each list element is a dictionary with descriptors/fingerprints corresponding to each supplied
+molecule (indexed as they appear in the SDF file).
+
+```python
+from padelpy import from_sdf
+
+# calculate molecular descriptors for molecules in `mols.sdf`
+descriptors = from_sdf('mols.sdf')
+
+# in addition to descriptors, calculate PubChem fingerprints
+desc_fp = from_sdf('mols.sdf', fingerprints=True)
+
+# only calculate fingerprints
+fingerprints = from_sdf('mols.sdf', fingerprints=True, descriptors=False)
+
+# save descriptors to a CSV file
+_ = from_sdf('mols.sdf', output_csv='descriptors.csv')
+```
+
 ### Command Line Wrapper
 
 Alternatively, you can have more control over PaDEL-Descriptor with the command-line wrapper function. Any combination of arguments supported by PaDEL-Descriptor can be accepted by the "padeldescriptor" function.
