This is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you so much!!!
Soon your channel will soar. Not many speak and explain as structured and clear as you do.
Thanks!
Thank you so much. With your help I have automated reports on my website❤️
Top!!!! Straight to the topic! Thanks!

Thanks @EmpowerCode!
Great tutorial Man, Thanks !
Thanks! Exactly what i wanted :)
This type of video. I have been searching since a month , that is very helpful viedo , i like that viedo and also have learnt my things, Ty
Thank you for this very useful video!
Very nice video, I loved the way you comment and explain every argument of the function, it helps a lot if you want to your own thing.
There is one question I have though. I noticed that when I draw a border around my cell, the text will overflow beyond the border. Does that mean that the text will not wrap inside the cell size and keep going beyond it if it doesn't have enough space ?
Thanks !
Nice info..thanks for sharing
Great video!
Thank you this helped!
Just stumbeld over your chanal. Awesome videos. Just wanna say thank you for your great work. I highly appreciate what you do and how you do it. The way you explain everything is super clear. Again. Keep up the great work.
bro didnt even respond 💀
Great vid!
so easy thanks a lot!!!
If you use explorer preview, you can see the .pdf update dynamically, without having to close and reopen the .prf viewer
The "ln" method, discussed about the 7:30 mark, is deprecated. The replacement method isn't particularly appealing.
Thanks....well laid out start.
Waiting for the bit where I can save my dataframes to pdf
Thanks! We will be going over how to create tables in your pdf based on a DataFrame in the 4th video :)
@@ChartExplorers Awesome....can't wait ! thanks Bradon
Hello,
Very nice job and many thanks man for sharing knowledge.
I have a question sir : How can I change pdf file from A4 to tabloid ?
lovely thanks
Hello, How can I generate a table with sum values in the last row? Thanks.
Hello, question, how can we open the pdf when we run the code, so that you do not have to go to the folder and open it manually?
Thank you
nice thx
Hello, before anything I wanna to thank u for this videos, helped me a lot. I wanna ask u if u know how can I fix some error. I'm saving some form in a database and creating PDFs with this data, but the multi_cell attribute isn't work as I expect, it's not breaking lines. Have u have some idea how can I fix this? Again, thx for this videos and congratulations to your channel.
Can you please add the link to the files you mention in the video? Thank you
is there any easy way for support UTF-8 (i need characters like: č, ć, ž, š, đ...)?
Thank you
You're Welcome! Thanks for watching 😀
How to add a template image PNG in the background of the PDF file? Wich folder choose
Very helpfull video. FPDF docs are not that good. It would take me a lot of time to understand it fast. I have only one day left in my project. You made it very intuitive.
nice
Is there a way to write pdf's using html and css and python?
Thanks for the video. While trying to move the second cell to next line using the 'ln' parameter, I am getting the following warning:
"DeprecationWarning: The parameter "ln" is deprecated. Instead of ln=True use new_x=XPos.LMARGIN, new_y=YPos.NEXT."
Using the recommended parameters are also giving errors as XPos and YPos have not been defined.
However, according to the documentation (Tuto 1 - Minimal Example), the following paramters can be used: new_x="LMARGIN", new_y="NEXT". This worked for me.
So, the code at line 21 at time 7:40 becomes:
pdf.cell(120, 10, 'Hello World!', new_x="LMARGIN", new_y="NEXT")
I found the same issue when I ran the python script in a console or with Jupyter, but when I ran the same code in Spyder IDE (v5), all went fine. Does anyone know what is going on here? Thanks!
Another solution: use pdf.ln()
I had to import XPos and YPos (from fpdf import FPDF, XPos, YPos), and use pdf.cell(120, 10, 'Hello World!', new_x=XPos.LMARGIN, new_y=YPos.NEXT)... new_x="LMARGIN", new_y="NEXT" wouldn't work...
Thanks it worked for me@@QuimChaos
@@natb007 brilliant
Hey does anyone know how i can adjust the vertical alignment of a text inside a cell ?
When i create a cell with a border the text is automatically vertical centered.. But what if i want it to be at the top ?
btw. nice video :) !
Thanks! It doesn't look like there is a way to vertically align within the cell at the current moment. Depending on what you are trying to accomplish you could try to draw a rectangle around the cell with the rect method. pdf.rect(x=20,y=80,w=100,h=40,style='D')
How it possible for 100pages of single pdf file, I wish to 100 pages of spitted pdf, to assign different names assign in each pdf file, how it do.
can you tell how to add images?
hi, i have one question, how to add button and when i press it, it will reture to catalog?
Hi! Thanks for the question. I'm not sure about a button, but what you can do is add an image (of a button) and then a link. In this video studio.th-cam.com/users/videoK917aOsfnDc/edit I discuss how to add links to text (it is the same process with an image but you would use pdf.image).
Hello. Thanks for this lesson. I have a question. How can I print a 3D model from a pdf using python?
Hi Faruk, good question. I have no idea! but it sounds exciting. Let me know if you figure anything out.
@@ChartExplorers Thank you for the answer. I continue research
Anyway i can run this python script in Excel (through VBA) becasue this way anyone can run the script and not just me. Also once I have all the PDF i need to upload it to certain folders on gdrive so can that be done
Hi Fahad, good question. This would be really useful!! I have not used VBA so I'm not the best one to answer this question, but it does look like there is some stuff out on this topic. Please let me know if you find any good resources.
thks for video sir i make pdf small pdf of fpdf2 but how can i direct print pdf on my default printer in my pc. pls help
Take a look at this article muddoo.com/tutorials/how-to-send-a-file-to-printer-for-print-using-python/. I haven't tried it out myself yet (but I will and I'll make a video on it). Let me know if you have any success. Best of luck.
Is there a way to italicize certain words in a sentence and not others? I'm trying to use MLA format to cite books with this
This type of formatting has been my biggest pain point when creating PDFs with Python. I created a video to answer a similar question a few weeks ago which is the best solution I have found to format only part of a string th-cam.com/video/CozYzrz7f-k/w-d-xo.html (This video discusses underlining text, but it is the same process as italicizing text). It is rather clunky, but it gets the job done. If you are using it for a bunch of citations you may want to create a function that does everything in the video.
@@ChartExplorers Thanks! This is super helpful!
we cant use custom fonts ? only font that provided ?
Great question, check out this video here th-cam.com/video/o7vixt2mVdo/w-d-xo.html
Hello I would like to ask if is it possible to use custom fonts
your reply would be very much appricaited thx
Hey GNFrost! This is a great question and something I should have added to this PDF video series.
I just made a video that describes this process. You can check it out here th-cam.com/video/o7vixt2mVdo/w-d-xo.html
@@ChartExplorers thanks
