CSS Not Rendered by Pisa's PDF Generation in Django

CSS not rendered by Pisa's pdf generation in Django

You could try this 'Pisa-and-Reportlab-pitfalls'
I had to add this

def fetch_resources(uri, rel):

On top of that I still carry all my css within the template. Also make sure you're using xhtml2pdf and not the old ho.pisa.

Is there a way to generate pdf containing non-ascii symbols with pisa from django template?

This does work for me:

pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO(html.encode("UTF-8")), result, encoding='UTF-8')

django - pisa : adding images to PDF output

I got the images working. the code is as follows:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.template.loader import render_to_string
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.conf import settings
import ho.pisa as pisa
import cStringIO as StringIO
import cgi
import os

def dm_monthly(request, year, month):
    html  = render_to_string('reports/dmmonthly.html', { 'pagesize' : 'A4', }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
    result = StringIO.StringIO()
    pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO(html.encode("UTF-8")), dest=result, link_callback=fetch_resources )
    if not pdf.err:
        return HttpResponse(result.getvalue(), mimetype='application/pdf')
    return HttpResponse('Gremlins ate your pdf! %s' % cgi.escape(html))

def fetch_resources(uri, rel):
    path = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, uri.replace(settings.MEDIA_URL, ""))

    return path

This was taken liberally from http://groups.google.com/group/xhtml2pdf/browse_thread/thread/4cf4e5e0f4c99f55
