Is there a way to generate pdf containing non-ascii symbols with pisa from django template?

Question

I\'m trying to generate a pdf from template using this snippet:

def write_pdf(template_src, context_dict):
    template = get_template(template_src)
    context          


        

Answer 1

Try replacing

pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO(html.encode("UTF-8")), result)

with

pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO(html), result, encoding='UTF-8')

Or checkout this answer to html to pdf for a Django site?
