Agree. But current tables are just pain pain pain, when I do something like:
OpenOffice.org XML -> RML -> PDF. Then I need to do lot of magic with XSL.
And, those still ugly and unusable when somebody merges cells and/or rows...
Yes, I know, I can do complex tables with nested tables, but this is
exactly: 

   painLevel = pow(painLevel, painLevel)

Again, current tables are good, but only if you _know_ how your table 
should look like (you write a code to render PDF, or this is a bill your code
produces or so). Instead, when you do lots XML transform from "unknown" 
sources, made by who knows whom by nobody knows what rules (basically 
Microsloth Word -> OpenOffice.org), than one moment you will see wrong 
output... But when I do the same with HTML -- tables are just excellent 
(with magic of CSS2 here/there).

  
It would make perfect sense to  have two different kinds of tables 
with different design goals.
    

Agree! Besides, I haven't said: "replace that old implementation". ;-)

I think you do it in this way: 1. First, you calculate hspans/vspans. 2. Then you do nested tables. I didn't see the other way how it might work with current implementation of ReportLab library... On the other hand, I am talking about col/row -span at ReportLab level, but "Pisa" seems like doing it at PML level. At least this is good workaround yet ReportLab grid tables does not support such feature. When you OpenSource your "Pisa" to at least to see the code inside? :-) -- 暮 > I'm not sure what makes a given poem 'modern'...

Hmm. I think you will get some more (troubles) when ReportLab community will change main Table class... Second, you _probably_ still have problems to insert in spanned cell/row nested table with ordered list or image etc. Then your nested object will not take effect to know cell is expanded and still will fit as into non-spanned cell. At least this problems are here, with current Tables implementation in RL. Why you would not like to commit this code to the RL engine? If it is buggy or so, we will fix it!

It will look for './fonts' in the current directory whenever reportlab is first imported. Our standard approach checks to see if lots of possible directories exist, and only existing ones end up on the path, so this is cheap. You do know that we already search for such a directory parallel to where reportlab is installed? When doing web server installs (rather than system-wide ones in site-packages), our customers usually have a copy of reportlab there, and just add their preferred fonts in alongside e.g. somewhere/cgi-bin #kickoff scripts cd into application1 and exec somewhere/htdocs somewhere/fonts somewhere/application1 somewhere/application2 somewhere/reportlab Also look in reportlab/rl_config.py T1SearchPath = ( # stuff omitted '%(REPORTLAB_DIR)s/fonts', #special '%(REPORTLAB_DIR)s/../fonts', #special '%(REPORTLAB_DIR)s/../../fonts', #special ) From reportlab-users@reportlab.com Fri Jul 9 01:34:24 2004 From: reportlab-users@reportlab.com (Andy Robinson) Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 01:34:24 +0100 Subject: [reportlab-users] Need to append two pdf's together &/or append pages to the end of an existing PDF file.

But if you want to correctly cover all cases, including one page referring to other forms nested N levels deep; one document referencing a different subset of a font than another; all possible naming clashes between resources in the two PDFs; and lots of other wrinkles, then its actually rather hard. Not to mention finding other sources of PDFs that don't work quite like Adobe's - we've recently had fun with OpenOffice output. The only safe approach is to fully parse and 'cross-reference' the PDFs you are slurping in and check every data structure against the PDF spec. You may have noticed that there are not many open source PDF libraries which do this - it's not easy! We regard PageCatcher as a major competitive edge for our Enterprise framework. It's also the key piece of some substantial server side solutions we sell for five figures, which we could not sell if PageCatcher was free. However, we are happy to work our very reasonable deals for its use, or to offer under charitable/academic licenses, provided the users have the basic Python knowledge not to be a burden.

I will not be attending the talk, but if anyone is interested I have some code that combines CMFReportTool, CMFNewsletter, and PortalTransport to allow Plone sites to send e-mail newsletters in PDF format in addition to HTML and text. I am currently doing a simple Plone product to separate out the PDF templating out of PortalTransport (which is where I initially stuck it), so it is more reusable. When I've done this I'll check this code into CMFNewsletter and PortalTransport in the Plone collective. BTW the author of CMFReportTool copied and pasted the entire Paragraph.py and made some minor changes in it for use in CMFReportTool, probably to try to fix bugs. I'm not aware that these have been rolled back into the main code. As a separate issue, the HTML parser in CMFReportTool needs a rewrite.

If it does, you might want to use the PIL to load the TIF, read each page's data in and create a ReportLab image from the image data in memory.

It seems something with the Paragraph width, but I don't know what. I search the usermanual and reference guide for something to set the paragraph width, but I don't see nothing.

Any hint with this????

Thanks for this sentiment. I am actually aware of 3 other packages which offer general-purpose formatters based on our package: Zope's CMFReportTool, Spirito's Pisa, and www.openreport.org. =20 I certainly feel 'less annoyed' about open source versions than=20 about rival commercial formatters built on our libraries, but at=20 some point we will have to 'defend our position' by having clear=20 feature comparisons and explaining to our commercial customers what the (considerable) differences are. The fact is that if we can't sell enterprise-priced document servers, there will be no business case for us to spend considerable salaried time extending and maintaining the core libraries you all depend on. =20 However, there is little evidence that any of these tools has any=20 kind of critical mass behind them at the moment, so there's no point worrying. I would personally like to see anyone building 'rival' formatting languages help share some of the burden with us; if the world would like to use RML as a standard, they could contribute to open source features, share the load of properly internationalizing paragraphs and so on, or (at the very least) contribute to a formal=20 compliance test suite, which would help all of us. This could all evolve in a 'nice' way with a base standard useful to everyone, and useful extra features in commercial versions. We might even eventually be able to promote it as a standard - and one in which Python had the first implementation out of the door. I am also quite happy that some clever academics have agreed with us = that=20 "RML is a more powerful, simple and flexible alternative to XSL:FO" ;-) However, it may be premature to worry as there is no real evidence yet of a large user group or sustained resources which would destabilise what we do; if this was basically Fabien's thesis rather than a bid for=20 global domination, I can only congratulate him on a great piece of work!

If you have Adobe Acrobat 6, you might want to run its space usage report over the file and find out what's taking up all the space. It's not too detailed, but can be very helpful. PDFs I make here are ~24kb for the first page, and that includes a logo. Subsequent pages are only a few kb each. If I use any custom PostScript fonts, the size goes up massively (IIRC, about 700Kb for the first page). It appears that ReportLab does not subset the embedded font, and an entire PostScript font is not small so this would explain it.

Yes, but we only include a font once per file. 50kb for each of 4 fonts is a big overhead on a 2-page invoice but not a problem for a 1000-page manual. - Andy From reportlab-users@reportlab.com Fri Jul 23 08:34:48 2004 From: reportlab-users@reportlab.com (Bogdan M.

My guess is that the bounding boxes are wrong. You could try making a document with each glyph drawn huge (100pt) and a rectangle around it based on the width given by stringWidth. This would tell you if the width declared in the AFM file matches the width it should be, i.e. if it's our bug or the font. - Andy From reportlab-users@reportlab.com Mon Jul 26 15:31:16 2004 From: reportlab-users@reportlab.com (Jody Burgess) Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2004 08:31:16 -0600 Subject: [reportlab-users] Canvas Size Message-ID: Good Morning; I have another newbie question: 1) is there a way to set canvas &/or page properties based on the size and resolution of an image that is being imported?

If PIL exposes those attributes then you can set your sizes in the constructor to the DocTemplate if using platypus which should translate to pdfgen easily. I set the size albeit, not dynamic in the SimpleDocTemplate constructor.

I used to get 500 - beat that you wimps ;-) - but think I have cracked it. If anyone else is suffering, they may want to check out www.mailblocks.com. Anyone emailing me directly for the first time has to go through a challenge-response process and prove they are a real human; this stopped almost everything instantly.

Hello,
I am getting content from database as html string. I want to genrate pdf by writing this html content.
I hope there will be way to write direct html whithout using any Pargraph styles methods.

Example:
html content: "<p><strong>fsdfsdfsdfsd</strong></p><ul><li>fsdfds</li></ul><ol><li>fds</li></ol><p><font color=#336633>fdsfds</font></p>"

Pdf output:

fsdfsdfsdfsd

fdsfds


Can any one poient me any method or example.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks,
Murthy
