How to create a PDF from Dictionary data extracted from a . txt (Python) file

Question

I have a dict() with string data extracted from a arquivo.txt.

dic = {}
dic[valor[0]] = valor[1]
print(dic)
>>> dic = {'Almir': 44, 'Ana': 36 ....}

I would like to save organized in PDF as follows:

nome : 8585
nome : 83838

Answer 1

Install the reportlab:

pip install reportlab

Creating the PDF and saving:

from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas

c = canvas.Canvas("arquivo.pdf")
#(x, y, string)
c.drawString(0,0,str(dic))
c.save()

If you want to look at the documentation: https://www.reportlab.com/docs/reportlab-userguide.pdf

Answer 2

As suggested by @cryptotux, use the library reportlab.

To generate the PDF through a dictionary, where each word will be on a line, do:

import os
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.units import inch

# Aqui vem o código de criação do dicionário `dic`

c = canvas.Canvas("arquivo.pdf")

# Move a origem do cursor para a parte superior esquerda
c.translate(inch,inch)

# Inicia um objeto texto limitando a área para que linhas 
# muito grandes, não ultrapassem a margem.
textobject = c.beginText(0, 650)
textobject.setFont("Helvetica-Oblique", 14)

# Percorrendo o dicionário definido anteriormente
for key, value in dic.items():
    textobject.textLine(key + ' : ' + value)

c.drawText(textobject)

c.showPage()
c.save()

os.system('arquivo.pdf')
