A headless version of pdfkit which makes use of xvfb-run
Project description
The PDFKit package makes use of wkhtmltopdf, which in turn needs an X Server to run. In Debian land, this generally requires xvfb-run wrapper.
The headless_pdfkit package tries to make the hotfix proposed by jakewins a bit easier to work with.
Installation
You can install headless_pdfkit by running:
pip install headless-pdfkit
Examples
Save a simple PDF from string.:
from headless_pdfkit import generate_pdf
ret = generate_pdf('<html></html>')
with open('output.pdf', 'wb') as w:
w.write(ret)
Save a simple PDF from string while passing the –auto-servernum parameter to xvfb-run.:
options = {
'auto_servernum': ''
}
ret = generate_pdf('<html></html>', options=options)
with open('output.pdf', 'wb') as w:
w.write(ret)
