Make pdf in no time with Python (and html)

You can make pdf as fast as you want, using no program but Python, and also using html. So… let’s go.

We need to use the pdfkit module.

Go in cmd and install it this way:

pip install pdfkit

import tkinter as tk
import pdfkit
import os


def pdf(event):
    x = "my.pdf"
    content = txbx.get("0.0", tk.END)
    pdfkit.from_string(content, x)
    print("pdf created")
    os.startfile("my.pdf")


root = tk.Tk()
# WIDGETS: text box => Text class of tkinter (tk)
label = tk.Label(root, text="CTRL + b to make a page (use also html)")
label.pack()
txbx = tk.Text(root, height=20, insertbackground="white")
txbx['font'] = "Arial 14"
txbx['bg'] = "black"
txbx['fg'] = "white"
txbx['borderwidth'] = 2
txbx.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=1)
txbx.focus()
txbx.bind("<Control-b>", pdf)

root.mainloop()
