django form converter to PDF

[M Hashmi]

Hi,

I need some simple library to convert a simple quote form to PDF. I tried xhtml2pdf and few others but need really simple process to use but creating a fancy pdf.

If anyone knows please let me know.

Regards,

Mudassar

the xhtml2pdf doc point to weasyprint [1]. After a quick look at the
doc [2], it look like a simple way to generate pdf from html file.
If you already have a url on your django app rendering the quote, I
would use weasyprint like that:


from io import BytesIO
from django.http.response import HttpResponse
from django.urls import reverse
from weasyprint import HTML

def view(request):
pdf = BytesIO()
HTML(url=reverse("app:quote").write_pdf(pdf)
return HttpResponse(pdf.getvalue(), content_type="application/pdf")


I haven't tested the code, but It should work, assuming "app:quote"
resolve to an actual url :)

You are a rockstar in the group man. Let me try it and I will let you know about the results. I didn't get a change to look at Weasy_print.

Hello Mudassar,
I agree with Ludovic : you could try weasyprint. I am using it on my project and am very satisfied.

One hint : if I remember correctly, images on html page should be png in order for pdf to be generated by default.
jpg support package is optional. See documentation https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/weasyprint/latest/weasyprint.pdf :

Optional: GDK-PixBuf 2

2 Without it, PNG and SVG are the only supported image format: JPEG, GIF and others are not available.

Cheers

You can also check out the Python wrapper for pdftk.

https://github.com/revolunet/pypdftk

It allows you to take a pdf form and fill it dynamically and "flatten" it.

Aside from that, Weasyprint also works pretty well.

I highly recommend you check http://wkhtmltopdf.org/ it works really good with html files.

There is a wrapper for Django https://github.com/incuna/django-wkhtmltopdf

 

If anyone knows please let me know.
