Create a Multilanguage PDF in Python
Hi guys, I'm disprate with the Pdf Unicode. I try to create a class using ufpdf but some chars are not correct and now I would like try Python because a friend tolds me that it's very powerful. I need a simple script in Python that grab all Records from a MySql table and print in the pdf file. The languages stored in my db are about 25 and they are: Greek English French Hungarian Italian Lithuanian Dutch Portuguese Albanian Czech Danish German Spanish Estonian Finnish Irish Latvian Maltese Polish Romanian Russian Slovene Slovak Swedish Anyone can help me, please? Thanks Perseo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Create a Multilanguage PDF in Python
Hi again,

Re: Create a Multilanguage PDF in Python
Nothing to do!
I enable test2.py and the folder with 777 permission and I write at the
top of the file the PYTHONPATH "#!/usr/bin/python" as you told me but
it doesn't works as well.
this is my organization:
www.domain.com/python/reportlab/ [all files]
www.domain.com/python/test2.py
#!/usr/bin/python
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"
print "Hello World"
from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics
from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('Verdana', 'Verdana.ttf'))
c = canvas.Canvas("pl.pdf")
c.setFont("Verdana", 12)
c.drawString(100, 600, "Witaj,
¶wiecie!".decode("iso-8859-2").encode("utf-8"))
c.showPage()
c.save()
The verdana font doesn't exist in the reportlab fonts folder. I try to
delete the rows where it is called like (registerFont, setFont) but
nothing to do.
any suggestion?!

Re: Create a Multilanguage PDF in Python
Hi Rob this is my code:
#!/usr/bin/python
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 "PDF Test"
I would like to create a simple pdf splitted in two column with a
vertical row.

Hi again, I must create a webpage with this service not a standalone software. Is it correct, anyway? have you a little example to show me? Thanks for your suggestions.
