wkhtmltopdf

Could someone please provide me with a comprehensive example of how to get a view in django to return a PDF using wkhtmltopdf . There are limited number of examples that come with django-wkhtmltopdf and they presume a level of knowledge I just don't have. I have looked through the source code but I can't make heads or tails of how to use it (for example whats the difference between PDFTemplateView and PDFTemplateResponse ?!?) I would be very grateful for any help. BTW(I'm using templates for the header and footer as well) EDIT def some_view(request,sID): something = get_object_or_404(Something

I've installed wkhtmltopdf on Centos 5.5. (Since there was library issues, it's been 4 days). It's partly working now. I said partly because, all pdfs which was created by wkhtmltopdf include squares instead of text? What can I do? I've searched google, but I couldn't find anything. Appreciate your help. When I had the black squares issue I was able to solve it without installing X11 by installing the urw-fonts package. I was able to solve this problem using the following resource: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/wiki/static In short, you probably don't need to install the entire x11

I'm developing an electronic invoicing system, and one of our features is generating PDFs of the invoices, and mailing them. We have multiple templates for invoices, and will create more later, so we decided to use HTML templates, generate HTML document, and then convert it to PDF. But we're facing a problem with wkhtmltopdf, that as far as I know (I've been Googleing for days to find the solution) we cannot simply both use HTML as header/footer, and show page numbers in them. In a bug report (or such) ( http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=140 ) I read that with JavaScript it

I'm looking to start with an initial PDF file, one that has graphics and text, and then take some html code which has dynamic values for some user input, generate that as a PDF, hopefully either using the initial PDF as a background, OR somehow running a PHP script afterwards to "merge" both PDF where one acts as a background to another. I have some code that renders an HTML formatted PDF: (using DOMPDF) $initialpdf = file_get_contents('file_html.html'); $initialpdf = str_replace(array( '%replaceText1%', '%replaceText2%' ), array ( $replaceText1, $replaceText2, ), $initialpdf); $fp = fopen(

I'm trying to generate a PDF using WKHTMLTOPDF that requires me to first log in. There's some on this on the internet already but I can't seem to get mine working. I'm in Terminal - nothing fancy. I've tried (among a whole lot of other stuff): /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf --post username=myusername --post password=mypassword "URL to Generate" test.pdf /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf --username myusername --password mypassword "URL to Generate" test.pdf /usr/bin/wkhtmltopdf --cookie-jar my.jar --post username=myusername --post password=mypassword "URL to Generate Cookie For" username and password are both the id

how to pass html as a string instead of url in wkhtmltopdf using asp.net, c#? STDIn and STDOut have been redirected in this example, so you shouldn't need files at all. public static class Printer { public const string HtmlToPdfExePath = "wkhtmltopdf.exe"; public static bool GeneratePdf(string commandLocation, StreamReader html, Stream pdf, Size pageSize) { Process p; StreamWriter stdin; ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(); psi.FileName = Path.Combine(commandLocation, HtmlToPdfExePath); psi.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(psi.FileName); // run the conversion utility psi
