<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580736 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/commandline/">commandline</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/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/tsv/">tsv</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utilities/">utilities</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xtopdf/">xtopdf</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to publish delimiter-separated values (a commonly used tabular data format) to PDF, using the xtopdf toolkit for PDF creation. It lets the user specify the delimiter via one of two command-line options - an ASCII code or an ASCII character. As Unix filters tend to do, it can operate either on standard input or on input filenames given as command-line arguments. In the case of multiple inputs via files, each input goes to a separate PDF output file.</p>
