    Answer it
    #!/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 .')
