Hello guys.
I am wondering if any of you know about a good way to
create pdf files from a GUI in python?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link.
I should probably have specified a bit more.
The GUI lets users enter text into a ScrolledText field, which then lets them
save their input in a .txt file. Is there a way to do this with PDF files that won't be too much hassle?
Or if there isn't such a way, could I format their input so that the .txt file is better suited for printing?

Thanks in advance.

Formatting text for pdf files is kind of a pain. Just simple
Plain text would be kind of easy.

Look at the reportlab library and its platypus package.

Yeah. That's what I figured.
Was looking at reportLab, but I don't know really know yet if I want to go that route.
Do you know any methods for getting the users input neatly formatted in a template if I decide to stay with only .txt files?

I am very new to programming, so every tip or trick is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Well reportlab supports a lot of basic html tags, like <b> and <i>, so those might help.

I've kinda found a solution to the problem.
However, I am now presented with a new problem.
I am required to use classes in this GUI design, but I am having slight difficulties
in getting the functions that writes the input to files to work within/from a class.
Is there any basic way to implement that functionality to a class? Or at least to call the function in a non-messy way?

Thanks for any input.

Sorted the previous problem. Now I am only faced with some class inheritance issues.

Thanks again for you reply!
