Hi I am using the follwoing 2 functions to create and send a pdf via mail on the fly. What Am I doing wrong. (The export pdf function works properly when showing it in the browser.) The error I am getting is "TypeError: 'ContentFile' object does not support indexing" . What I am doing wrong? Almost all of this code has been taken from some blogs, so I dont know how it exactly works. But if you dont understand some things please comment. I will reply. if request.method=="POST": form = ReportSendMailForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): email = form.cleaned_data['mail'] message = form.cleaned

I've been trying to convert Hebrew html files without success; the Hebrew characters show up in the output PDF as black rectangles regardless of any encoding I tried. I tried some unicode test files included in the pisa distribution: pisa-3.0.33\test\test-unicode-all.html and \test-bidirectional-text.html . I ran xhtml2pdf from the command line both with and without --encoding utf-8 . Same result: none of the non-Latin characters made it through. Is this a fonts problem*? If the unicode test file works for you, was there anything you did to set it up? *FWIW, at least some of these languages,

I'm creating a PDF with xhtml2pdf using Django. I'm sending that PDF to print, but then they say that some Fonts are not embed. I have a Helvetica font, but I didn't use Helvetica in the PDFs. Here you have a Screen Shot of the properties of the PDF As you see, Guilles'ComicFont and TF2Secondary are correclty embbeded, but not with Helvetica. Here you have my view that generates the PDF: def generate_pdf(request, book, order): try: book = Book.objects.get(pk=int(book)) order = Order.objects.get(identificador=order, cuento=book) except ObjectDoesNotExist: raise Http404 data = {} data = ast

I am using pisa, which is an HTML to PDF conversion library for Python. Does there exist the same thing for a Word document: an HTML to .doc conversion library for Python? You could use win32com from the pywin32 python extensions for windows, to let MS Word convert it for you. A simple example: import win32com.client word = win32com.client.Dispatch('Word.Application') doc = word.Documents.Add('example.html') doc.SaveAs('example.doc', FileFormat=0) doc.Close() word.Quit() Though I am not aware of a direct module that can allow you to convert this, however: You can convert HTML to plain text

I'm using a standard example from the web ( http://www.20seven.org/journal/2008/11/pdf-generation-with-pisa-in-django.html ) to convert a django view / template into a PDF. Is there an "easy" way to include images (either from a url or a reference on the server) in the template so they will show on the PDF? I got the images working. the code is as follows: from django.http import HttpResponse from django.template.loader import render_to_string from django.template import RequestContext from django.conf import settings import ho.pisa as pisa import cStringIO as StringIO import cgi import os def
