Rendering spreadsheets as PDF tables¶
All the details on tables and options to style them are detailed on the dedicated page: Tables.
From a .csv spreadsheet¶
Example input file: color_srgb.csv
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# USAGE: ./csv2table.py color_srgb.csv
import csv, sys
from fpdf import FPDF, FontFace
from fpdf.drawing import color_from_hex_string
pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Times", size=22)
with pdf.table() as table:
with open(sys.argv[1], encoding="utf-8") as csv_file:
reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=",")
for i, row in enumerate(reader):
style = None
if i > 0:
# We color the row based on the hexadecimal code in the 2nd column:
style = FontFace(fill_color=color_from_hex_string(row[1]))
table.row(row, style=style)
pdf.output("from-csv.pdf")
From a .xlsx spreadsheet¶
Example input file: color_srgb.xlsx
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Script Dependencies:
# openxlsx
# USAGE: ./xlsx2table.py color_srgb.xlsx
import sys
from fpdf import FPDF, FontFace
from fpdf.drawing import color_from_hex_string
from openpyxl import load_workbook
pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Times", size=22)
wb = load_workbook(sys.argv[1])
ws = wb.active
with pdf.table() as table:
for i, row in enumerate(ws.rows):
style = None
if i > 0:
# We color the row based on the hexadecimal code in the 2nd column:
style = FontFace(fill_color=color_from_hex_string(row[1]))
table.row([cell.value for cell in row], style=style)
pdf.output("from-xlsx.pdf")
From an .ods spreadsheet¶
Example input file: color_srgb.ods
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Script Dependencies:
# odfpy
# USAGE: ./ods2table.py color_srgb.ods
import sys
from fpdf import FPDF, FontFace
from fpdf.drawing import color_from_hex_string
from odf.opendocument import load
from odf.table import Table, TableCell, TableRow
pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Times", size=22)
ods = load(sys.argv[1])
for sheet in ods.getElementsByType(Table):
with pdf.table() as table:
for i, row in enumerate(sheet.getElementsByType(TableRow)):
row = [str(cell) for cell in row.getElementsByType(TableCell)]
style = None
if i > 0:
# We color the row based on the hexadecimal code in the 2nd column:
style = FontFace(fill_color=color_from_hex_string(row[1]))
table.row(row, style=style)
pdf.output("from-ods.pdf")
