Create PDF with Python | Part 1

[@runner6994]

The "ln" method, discussed about the 7:30 mark, is deprecated. The replacement method isn't particularly appealing.

[@Michael-value]

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.

[@joachimguth6226]

Soon your channel will soar. Not many speak and explain as structured and clear as you do.

[@ChartExplorers]

Thanks!

[@zunaidhassan9662]

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!

[@natb007]

Another solution: use pdf.ln()

[@QuimChaos]

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...

If you use explorer preview, you can see the .pdf update dynamically, without having to close and reopen the .prf viewer

Thanks @EmpowerCode!

[@code-to-learn]

Thanks a lot sir. This is the course I was waiting for

[@simaobonvalot7697]

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 !

hi, i have one question, how to add button and when i press it, it will reture to catalog?

[@ChartExplorers]

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.kzbin.infoK917aOsfnDc/edit I discuss how to add links to text (it is the same process with an image but you would use pdf.image).

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

[@ChartExplorers]

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.

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.

[@2Saturo]

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 :) !

[@ChartExplorers]

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')

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

[@ChartExplorers]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaDdiq2or5yZY80 (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.
