I generate a pdf file from HTML using Pisa:
def fetch_resources(uri, rel):
path = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, uri.replace(settings.MEDIA_URL, ""))
return path
def write_pdf(template_src, context_dict, filename):
template = get_template(template_src)
context = Context(context_dict)
html = template.render(context)
result = open(filename, 'wb')
pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO(
html.encode("UTF-8")), result, link_callback=fetch_resources)
result.close()
My HTML has a link to an external CSS and is rendered properly, but the CSS is not used by Pisa (eg. font size, table cell width, text-align...).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="fr">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/site_media/style/style.css" />
</head>
<body>
....
Did I miss something?
Thanks
You could try this 'Pisa-and-Reportlab-pitfalls' I had to add this
On top of that I still carry all my css within the template. Also make sure you're using xhtml2pdf and not the old ho.pisa.
