Very good. Never seen a video in this subject before.

[@plus2net1]

Thanks, Keep watching.. next is drawing tables.

[@pankajs271178]

Excellent. This means we dont need any other image (watermark) as its a requirement in PYPDF2. Also, the text is customizable. This is super. Need to dig in more. Thanks a lot.

[@plus2net1]

Thanks , keep exploring , many features are there ..

[@LE_MadhukarKota]

What are the library's should we install to run this code successfully in pycharm

Based on your application you may need to install database connections etc.

[@plus2net1]

thanks , glad to know that.

[@ritankarbhattacharjee7661]

will please consider making a video on how to use reportlab with django

[@plus2net1]

Started Django but shifted to Tkinter, We will make it again shortly.

[@VaishnaviMahadik-c5g]

Does ReportLab is paid or free library?

[@plus2net1]

Both are there,
ReportLab Plus is the commercial tool.

ReportLab PDF toolkit is the Open source ( we are using for learning and developing ) ,
when we install like this
pip install reportlab
We use Open source one only.

[@snipercan]

in the very beginning you create a path. could we not do it another way like OS dependent path so it always goes to users document folder?

[@snipercan]

something like path = os.path.expanduser("~/Documents/my_pdf.pdf")

[@plus2net1]

Try this
import os
print(os.path.expanduser('~\\test.txt'))

[@malikkamil6596]

I am printing report using reportlab but when line ends text goes out of page except going in next line in print

I have my logo in digital ocean spaces. How can I add the logo stored there to the pdf ? Because when I paste the direct link in the path argument it throws an error.

[@plus2net1]

Check here you can add URL of the hosted image .
www.plus2net.com/python/pdf.php
But if your host is preventing hotlinking then it will not work, Check by opening the image outside your hosting and see.

[@ritankarbhattacharjee7661]

@@plus2net1 I used the same code that of yours sir, but I am getting the this error "fileName= identity=[ImageReader@0x23f13bd76d0] cannot identify image file "
And yes the image opens if I paste the link in the address bar and open it sir. Also to mention the extension of the image is svg

[@plus2net1]

@@ritankarbhattacharjee7661 For SVG you have to use PIL, try to place one JPG image at your site and using that generate the PDF , that will work,
Check this line
c.drawImage('www.plus2net.com/images/top2.jpg',-0.8*inch,9.3*inch) , use this line and that should work.
For SVG file I have to see how reportlab supports.

[@ritankarbhattacharjee7661]

@@plus2net1 Okay thank you sir,, I will try

[@muneeb00ali]

What should we do if report lab is not working

[@plus2net1]

Check if reportlab is installed or not , or install the library like this.
pip install reportlab
