I'm trying to use Python with ReportLab 2.2 to create a PDF report. According to the user guide, Special TableStyle Indeces [sic] In any style command the first row index may be set to one of the special strings 'splitlast' or 'splitfirst' to indicate that the style should be used only for the last row of a split table, or the f...

I'm using Reportlab to generate report cards. The report cards are basically one big Table object. Some of the content in the table cells needs to wrap, specifically titles and comments, and I also need to bold certain elements. To accomplish both the wrapping and ability to bold, I'm using Paragraph objects within the Table. My tabl...
Hi everyone! I'm trying to add a simple "page x of y" to a report made with ReportLab.. I found this old post about it, but maybe six years later something more straightforward has emerged? ^^; I found this recipe too, but when I use it, the resulting PDF is missing the images.. ...

How can I create a bulleted list in ReportLab? The documentation is frustratingly vague. I am trying: text = ur ''' <para bulletText="•"> item 1 </para> <para bulletText="•"> item 2 </para> ''' Story.append(Paragraph(text,TEXT_STYLE)) But I keep getting errors like list index out of range. It seems that I can't put more than...
I had been using the reportlab NumberedCanvas given at http://code.activestate.com/recipes/546511/ . However, when i try to build a PDF that contains Image flowables, the images do not show, although enough vertical space is left for the image to fit. Is there any solution for this? ...
I have two PNGs that I am trying to combine into a PDF using ReportLab 2.3 on Python 2.5. When I use canvas.drawImage(ImageReader) to write either PNG onto the canvas and save, the transparency comes out black. If I use PIL (1.1.6) to generate a new Image, then paste() either PNG onto the PIL Image, it composits just fine. I've double...
I am trying to use ReportLab with Unicode characters, but it is not working. I tried tracing through the code till I reached the following line: class TTFont: # ... def splitString(self, text, doc, encoding='utf-8'): # ... cur.append(n & 0xFF) # <-- here is the problem! # ... (This code can be found in ...
Hello, I am after a pure Python solution (for the GAE) to convert webpages to pdf. I had a look at reportlab but the documentation focuses on generating pdfs from scratch, rather than converting from HTML. What do you recommend? - pisa? Edit: My use case is I have a HTML report that I want to make available in PDF too. I will make up...
Is there any Python library or some sample code which demonstrates how to convert basic HTML into RML (Reportlab Markup Language www.reportlab.org)? I can think of using a regular HTML parser and adding some home grown code to generate the RML, but I guess there will be a lot of cases to handle in such a conversion. ...
Hi, I have managed to create a 2 axes graph in ReportLab, by overlapping a barchart and linepot. Here is the code for anyone interested in something similar: from reportlab.graphics.shapes import Drawing,colors from reportlab.graphics.widgets.markers import makeMarker from reportlab.graphics.charts.barcharts import VerticalBarChart fro...
I'm doing my first program using ReportLab where I don't know in advance where the page breaks will fall and I'm having trouble. To keep things simple I'm using the SimpleDocTemplate. My flowables look something like this: flowables = [Paragraph("Some title", style=headerParagraphStyle), Spacer(0, 10), Paragr...

On an Ubuntu server, I want to create pdfs which include other static pdfs. I have tried using ReportLab with pyPdf. Ideally I would use ReportLab to do the whole thing, but in order to import the pdfs requires their PageCatcher which has a large recurring fee. So I use pyPdf to merge a page created with ReportLab and my other pdfs. Th...
I'm using the Table of Report Lab library to print a table on a PDF report. I would like to know if it's possible to configure the table to perform an automatic wrapping of the content of a cell. For example, I have a text that doesn't fit on a cell inside a column. I would like that the table performs the wrap automatically adjusting ...
I've run into an issue I can't seem to figure out with PIL and reportlab. Specifically, I would like to use drawImage on a canvas in reportlab using a PIL Image object. In the past I've inserted images into reportlab documents from the web using raw data, StringIO and reportlab's ImageReader class. Unfortunately, ImageReader takes a fil...
I want to automatically generate booking confirmation PDF files in Python. Most of the content will be static (i.e. logos, booking terms, phone numbers), with a few dynamic bits (dates, costs, etc). From the user side, the simplest way to do this would be to start with a PDF file with the static content, and then using python to just a...
Hi, I'm working on a project in Python/Django which uses ReportLab's SimpleDocTemplate to generate PDF documents. All the documents generated have the current date/time printed in the top right corner. I can't see that it's being done anywhere in my code, is this a default behaviour in the SimpleDocTemplate object? How do I get rid o...
