  💡 Idea

  • Creating a program in python that can read from a file and store the information as a PDF.
  • It should be able to make a sample coverpage for assignments.

  STEP 1 : GO TO YOUR TERMINAL IN VISUAL STUDIO CODE

  Type the code below. 👇

  pip install pyPdf

  • 👉 Official website :https://pypi.org/project/pyPdf/
  • Visit the website to know more about what Pypdf can do!

STEP 2: MAKE YOUR FIRST PDF!

from fpdf import FPDF

pdf=FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Arial",size=20)
pdf.cell(200,10,txt="This is line number 1",ln=1,align="C")
pdf.cell(200,10,txt="This is line number 2",ln=2,align="L")
pdf.cell(200,10,txt="This is line number 3",ln=3,align="R")
#Alignment is totally your choice

Adding an image

pdf.output("Demo1.pdf")
#"Demo" is just the name, the name can be anything you desire.
