<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580710 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/conversion/">conversion</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/csv/">csv</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/data/">data</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/files/">files</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/formats/">formats</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf/">pdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xtopdf/">xtopdf</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to read data from a CSV file with a D program and write that data to a PDF file with a Python program - all in a single command-line invocation (after writing the individual programs, of course).</p> <p>It requires the xtopdf toolkit, which you can get from:</p> <p><a href="https://bitbucket.org/vasudevram/xtopdf" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/vasudevram/xtopdf</a></p> <p>Instructions for installing xtopdf:</p> <p><a href="http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2012/07/guide-to-installing-and-using-xtopdf.html" rel="nofollow">http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2012/07/guide-to-installing-and-using-xtopdf.html</a></p> <p>xtopdf in turn requires the open source version of the ReportLab toolkit, which you can get from:</p> <p><a href="http://www.reportlab.com/ftp" rel="nofollow">http://www.reportlab.com/ftp</a> (<a href="http://www.reportlab.com/ftp/reportlab-1.21.1.tar.gz%29" rel="nofollow">http://www.reportlab.com/ftp/reportlab-1.21.1.tar.gz)</a></p> <p>It also requires the DMD compiler to compile the D program - this was the version used:</p> <p>DMD32 D Compiler v2.071.2</p>
