import time, os, sys from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas from reportlab.lib.units import inch, cm from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4 #precalculate some basics top_margin = A4[1] - inch bottom_margin = inch left_margin = inch right_margin = A4[0] - inch frame_width = right_margin - left_margin pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('Verdana', 'verdana.ttf')) canv = canvas.Canvas("test.pdf") def drawPageFrame(mycanv): mycanv.line(left_margin, top_margin, right_margin, top_margin) mycanv.setFont('Verdana',12) mycanv.drawString(left_margin, top_margin + 2, "Pdf Test") mycanv.line(left_margin, top_margin, right_margin, top_margin) mycanv.line(left_margin, bottom_margin, right_margin, bottom_margin) mycanv.drawCentredString(0.5*A4[0], 0.5 * inch, "Page %d" % mycanv.getPageNumber()) canv.setPageCompression(1) drawPageFrame(canv) #do some title page stuff canv.setFont("Verdana", 36) canv.drawCentredString(0.5 * A4[0], 7 * inch, "Pdf Test") canv.setFont("Verdana", 18) canv.drawCentredString(0.5 * A4[0], 5 * inch, "Test Staff") canv.setFont("Verdana", 12) tx = canv.beginText(left_margin, 3 * inch) tx.textLine("This is a test to a PDF Exporting Tool") canv.drawText(tx) canv.showPage() canv.save() print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n" print "<a href=\"test.pdf\">PDF Test</a>" </code> I would like to create a simple pdf splitted in two column with a vertical row. | Όνομα, Επώνυμο | John, Malkovic Διεύθυνση (1) | 11 Main Street, Athens 54640 | Thessaloniki Greece Διεύθυνση (2) | Τηλέφωνο | 00302310886995 Διεύθυνση | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ηλεκτρονικού | ταχυδρομείου | Κινητό τηλέφωνο | 00345353453453 Τόπος γέννησης | Thessaloniki Χώρα | Greece Υπηκοότητα | Greek Ημερομηνία | γέννησης | Μητρική γλώσσα | Greek Rob Wolfe wrote: > "Perseo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > Hi guys, > > > > I'm disprate with the Pdf Unicode.
