    #!/usr/bin/python3.5 

from weasyprint import HTML

url = "http://ekstrabladet.dk/112/nye-oplysninger-i-30-aar-gammel-mordgaade/6579176"

HTML(url).write_pdf("test.pd")

    The problem is that the final pdf has only part of the webpage.
    I'm assuming that this is due to the stylesheet not being part of it but how do i do that and also, is there a generic method of applying css rather than me having to apply the webpage specific stylesheet ?

    Hi peterjnielsen.

    First you have to install reportlab in your system then follow the below code .

     pip install reportlab

    then you have to add python packages.. 
    
import reportlab
def pdf_view1(request1):
    f1 = FileSystemStorage1()
    filename = 'mypdf.pdf'
    if fs.exists(filename):
        with f1.open(filename) as pdf:
            response = HttpResponse(pdf, content_type='application1/pdf1')
            response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="mypdf.pdf1"'
            return response
    else:
        return HttpResponseNotFound('The requested pdf was not found in our server or can not find .')
