Hi, I'm wondering what is the best time to register a font for use in reportlab. I added the following line into my settings.py: pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('Calibri', FONT_DIR + '/fonts/Calibri.ttf')) After this call the font is available for pdf generation. But it occurs that after a few days the font is not available anymore an...
I'm trying to add a font to the python ReportLab so that I can use it for a function. The function is using canvas.Canvas to draw a bunch of text in a PDF, nothing complicated, but I need to add a fixed width font for layout issues. When I tried to register a font using what little info I could find, that seemed to work. But when I tr...
I'm interested in filling out existing PDF forms programatically. All I really need to do is pull information from user input and then place the appropriate text over an existing PDF in the appropriate locations. I can already do this with reportlab by feeding the same sheet of paper into a printer, twice, but this just really rubs me th...
I'm automatically generating a PDF-file with Platypus that has dynamic content. This means that it might happen that the length of the text content (which is directly at the bottom of the pdf-file) may vary. However, it might happen that a page break is done in cases where the content is too long. This is because i use a "static" space...

What shows as the JEWELRY table for this exa...
I'm trying to dynamically generate PDFs from user input, where I basically print the user input and overlay it on an existing PDF that I did not create. It works, with one major exception. Adobe Reader doesn't read it properly, on Windows or on Linux. QuickOffice on my phone doesn't read it either. So I thought I'd trace the path of me ...
I have been working with some complex PDF outputs with reportlab. These are generally fine but there are some cases still where I get LayoutErrors - these are usually because Flowables are too big at some point. It's proving o be pretty hard to debug these as I don't often have more information than something like this; Flowable <Table...
Im using the reportlab framework for creating pdf's. I'm also using a custom font in my pdf's called '3of9'. Now, sometimes I'm getting the following error: IOError: Cannot open resource "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/reportlab/fonts/LeERC___.AFM", while looking for faceName='3of9' This doesn't happens everytime, but too often.

I'm using ReportLab to create long questionnaires and I need to create text like If you do not have allergies, proceed to page 168 Does ReportLab present some feature that can help me with this referencing task?

Hi there, I saved some plots from matplotlib into a pdf format because it seems to offer a better quality. How do I include the PDF image into a PDF document using ReportLab? The convenience method Image(filepath) does not work for this format. Thank you. ...

Hi, I'm using Reportlab to create PDFs. I'm creating two PDFs which I want to merge after I created them. Reportlab provides a way to save a pycanvas (source) (which is basically my pdf file in memory) as a python file, and calling the method doIt(filename) on that python file, will recreate the pdf file. This is great, since you can co...
