I was about to find out about how to generate a PDF from HTML with Django and as I'm following your channel, this just appears like magic! thank you so much!
Thank you very much for this video :) I've a question, in the html template ,how can we display unicodes caracters (like arabic caracters ,japanese) with ISO-8859-1 it displays like a black squares. Thanks again
Awesome video! Any suggestions on template design for using render_to_pdf to create a pdf containing a bar chart? Have tried your method using external style sheets and chart will not render.
My template contains nepali words. So while I generate pdf, it returns UnicodeEncodeError at /application-view/92/pdf/ 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 1058-1062: ordinal not in range(256) error. How can I solve it?
Is there a way to make the Template and context dynamic? So you can put the button in others templates, and create the PDF based in the actual template?
if i change the data in js file when loading html, or draw a picture on loading or so on, i think this method is invalid. what can i do? Thanks. sorry for my poor English.
What is your opinion about Weasyprint? It seems the more common package for me, but we are experienceing some problems.. Did you use it before and whats your favourite?
+Kritesh Agarwal ahh good question! You have to save it locally (on your server) and then add it as an attachment to your email. Django docs show you how to add attachments. Does that help? 😬
Hey Justin, yeah it helps! Now, I get the idea. (Sorry, for replying late!) I really want to thank you, because now I am doing the projects I always dreamed of because of your knowledge and videos on django. I learned django completely from you. You're awesome. My 'engineer-friends' are now referring your tutorials to their colleagues to improve their django skills as I code like a boss. :-) Btw, I am facing difficulties in understanding how to manage files on django. I want to upload multiple pictures taken from a webcam and upload it, and other kind of similar stuff like managing pdf documents and stuff belonging to a particular user. I want to do these using apis and not through django forms. Where should I go to learn about the management of files on django and web? Should I refer django docs or any of your tutorials or any other place? The 'Managing Files' in django docs, is going slightly over my head. Thanks, really, you're awesome.
@@CodingEntrepreneurs but for email we need to have a file name. But here we dont have any file name which is rendered to pdf. Plz suggest how could i save it locally
In utils.py you should change pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(BytesIO(html.encode("ISO-8859-1")), result) to pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(BytesIO(html.encode("UTF-8")), result)
It works the first time I use it. Great tutorial ! 3 issues I need assistance please : 1. Data from Django TextField type does not rendered as multi-line, but as single line. 2. Foot : pagecount error. It shows twice. eg. 4 pages, showed as 44 3. Managed to show it as pdf on the browser, but error after download : there's symbol : ' before and after the file name. eg. 'report.pdf'. Also when I open it with Adobe, it shows blank page. Help please.
Well actually it is possible sort of, if you want to produce idcard for office or school. I will suggest you to learn more about styling and css, where you can easily be able to render idcard and style the design of it. Anyway if using for commercial purposes, it is best to first make a PDF and then convert the PDF file into Coral Draw format. Hope this helped you
hi dear! my question is that when I send the template that has the Persian language. the pdf will create but instead, my Persian data is then shown in hashed data like the square square how can fix it .?
I am trying to use bootstrap to style the PDF, the bootstrap styles show up in the html but not the pdf. The link to bootstrap is in the head comp. I read one note the author thought it should work, has anyone figured it out?
There is actually a simple hack that I learnt from stackoverflow. Best is to use python module name pandas. Upload those all files onto pandas, convert them into Excel and then import it in your database. Mind it that you will need some database fixture too...
Requesting a tutorial on the problem bellow: 1. A web app that requires login to user it and a logout feature to come out 2. after login user can input : name,age,salary 3. the interface should be in bootstrap 4. report button will generate a report in pdf (report contains every persons name and age and salary serially ) 5. it should be secured enough to deploy and 6. Finally deployment process please it will clear my concept help me......
I have a csv file which contains invoice details of multiple customers, and I have an HTML template. I want to automatically generate invoices in pdf format using django and python. Can someone please point me to related videos and articles?
Can anyone help with this: latin-1' codec can't encode character '\u2713' in position 8235: ordinal not in range(256) from: pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(BytesIO(html.encode("ISO-8859-1")), result)

how should i bring dynamic data into context from search query template
thank you, brother. But could you tell me that in place of context, how to insert data from database?
Do you know Django? It’s just a queryset that you can unpack
Do you think that JSPDF a better option now?
hi dear!
my question is that when I send the template that has the Persian language. the pdf will create but instead, my Persian data is then shown in hashed data like the square square
how can fix it .?
I know it's kinda late but you might want to look upon UTF -8 encoding
