I ran into the same problem and I just started to learn python a week ago. Could anyone help me with it? How do you guys convert a URL to a pdf file? I am on Windows 7, and installed pisa-3.0.33 as well. I think I had Reportlab Toolkit and html5lib 0.11.1 installed. When I convert http://www.google.com/ I got a pdf file with some words of the page but without any image. And when I tried some other more complex pages I got a bunch of errors as wanghenxingw got. Can anyone post some codes that can convert URL to pdf successfully?  Or how do I check if I have all the required programs installed? Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

I feel like I should point out a couple of things:

1. While converting a webpage (one from the internet) seems to be a
common use case, it is absolutely not the intended usage of this
library. There are other libraries doing a much better job for this
(wkhtmltopdf comes to mind [1]). The intent of xhtml2pdf is to let
webdesigners create pdfs with tools and technologies they are used to
(like generate pdf reports, invoices etc...).

2. pisa 3.* is completely unsupported and abandonned, and the only
work being done is on xhtml2pdf [2]. There have been *major* changes
(like a complete refactoring, and inclusion of much code from
contributors), so while I feel your frustration, I would suggest you
try with this version instead (lots of "silent catches" have been
removed, so it should produce better/more useful error output).

3. There is no paid support or any commercial organisation behind
xhtml2pdf. If you need a bug fixed or a feature done, the best way is
still to look at the code yourself, and send a pull request in (I will
merge anything that looks reasonable - I don't have a roadmap).

Hope you all understand my point, and don't see this as a barrier to
using this lib - I think it's great at what it does :)

Cheers, and thanks

- Chris (the current maintainer)
