Im new to python and can't figure out how to save my pdf file with a custom name.
What I want to do is something like:
Name = input('What is your name: ')
pdf.output('Name.pdf')
And as I expected the name of the pdf file created is now: Name
I tried searching for it but I think im using the wrong words for it since I can't find a solution for my problem. I might be explaning it badly. But if anyone got an answer for it it would be much appreciated :)
Sir, in your question:
pdf.output('Name.pdf')
Here you are passing Name.pdf as a string to the output function if you want to pass the Name variable you should not use ' quotes around the value you are passing you final code should look something like this:
name = input("Enter your name: ")
name = name + ".pdf" //adds .pdf extension to the name entered
pdf.output(name) //see how there are no quotes around name variable

Happy NYE! Hopefully this is the last question of the year from me. I am trying to create a dynamic excel path for python to extract various excel files based on the date, type parameters, etc.
I have created below parameters which I can change base on the file I am trying to retrieve:
date = input() [assign '201912']
type = input() [assign 'abc']
I am trying to figure out a way to incorporate these into the file directory I am asking python to read such that it returns the same result as below:
import pandas as pd
sheet=pd.ExcelFile(r'C:\Information\Management\201912\abc\abc Template 201912.xlsm')
Have tried few different ways but cant seem to get it to work. Any suggestions on this?
Thank you very much!
You can format it with the % sign like in Python 2 (not recommended):
path = r'C:\Information\Management\%s\%s\%s Template %s.xlsm' % (date, type, type, date)
The Pythonic way in Python 3 is to use str.format:
path = r'C:\Information\Management\{}\{}\{} Template {}.xlsm'.format(date, type, type, date)
Or with named parameters:
path = r'C:\Information\Management\{date}\{type}\{type} Template {date}.xlsm'.format(date=date, type=type)
Starting with Python 3.6, you can also use f-strings:
path = f'C:\\Information\\Management\\{date}\\{type}\\{type} Template {date}.xlsm'
sheet = pd.read_excel(path)
I am using File[] imageFile = PdfUtilities.convertPdf2Png(new File("MYPATH")) command to generate png from pdf , which is giving file name as "workingimage01","workingimage02"...."workingimage0n" and so on, is it possible to change this name setting by the time png's are generated. Thanks in advance.
I am trying this command for 10 pdf parallel, so it is overlapping. thats why i need to know is there a way or i am asking out of the box question.
The name is hard coded in the source. You can create an overloaded method that takes another parameter for the working files' name.
I have a problem with inserting UNICODE characters in a PDF file in eclipse.
There is some solution for this that it is not very efficient for me.
The solution is like this.
document.add(new Paragraph("Unicode: \u0418", new Font(bfComic, 12)));
I want to retrieve data from a database and show them to the user and my characters are in Arabic script and sometimes in Farsi script.
What solution do you suggest?
thanks
You are experiencing different problems:
Encoding of the data:
Please download chapter 2 of my book and go to section 2.2.2 entitled "The Phrase object: a List of Chunks with leading". In this section, look for the title "Database encoding versus the default CharSet used by the JVM".
You will see that database values are retrieved like this:
String name1 = new String(rs.getBytes("given_name"), "UTF-8");
That’s because the database contains different names with special characters. You risk that these special characters are displayed as gibberish if you would retrieve the field like this:
String name2 = rs.getString("given_name")
Encoding of the font:
You create your font like this:
Font font = new Font(bfComic, 12);
You don't show how you create bfComic, but I assume that this object is a BaseFont object using IDENTITY_H as encoding.
Writing from right to left / making ligatures
Although your code will work to show a single character, it won't work to show a sentence correctly.
Suppose that name1 is the Arabic version of the name "Lawrence of Arabia" and that we want to write this name to a PDF. This is done three times in the following screen shot:
The first line is wrong, because the characters are in the wrong order. They are written from left to right whereas they should be written from right to left. This is what will happen when you do:
document.add(name1);
Even if the encoding is correct, you're rendering the text incorrectly.
The second line is also wrong. The characters are now in the correct order, but no ligatures are made: ل followed by و should be combined into a single glyph: لو
You can only achieve this by adding the content to a ColumnText or PdfPCell object, and by setting the run direction to PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL. For instance:
pdfCell.setRunDirection(PdfWriter.RUN_DIRECTION_RTL);
Now the text will be rendered correctly.
This is explained in chapter 11 of my book. You can find a full example here: Ligatures2
I want to use the automatic_tag_name hook to automatic create tag name without the need of manually typing
I tried to write it like it : automatic_tag_name(branch name,10)= "GIL"
Is it the correct syntax? (i found iittle information on it in the documents)
Is it possible to create tag name from a file? this file will contains only the tag name
See this example pahe here:
http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/latest/en/user-guide/hooks.html
SO correct call should be:
def post_push_autotag(push_result):
automatic_tag_name(push_result.new_revno)
branch.Branch.hooks.install_named_hook('post_push_autotag', post_push_autotag, 'My autotag')
I am trying to find the name of ID of the input item that coresponds to the
file that is being uploaded...
<input type="file" id="FUtxtval1" name="FUtxtval1"/>
iterating over input items to find the first file input field:
function FindFirstFileFieldId()
{
var inputFields = document.getElementsByTagName("input")
for(var i=0;i<inputFields.length;i++)
{
if(inputFields[i].type=="file")
return inputFields[i].id;
}
}
The ID of the element is simply "FUtxtval1" (whatever is in the ID tag)
--
For JavaScript you can access this by using
var element = document.getElementById('FUtxtval1');
So you could then do something like
document.element.disabled=true;
--
For jQuery (Also JavaScript) you would use
$('#FUtxtval1').whatever
--
For PHP you would use
$_POST['FUtxtval1']
Assuming this is part of a form
For PHP if you actually want the file you use the handle
$_FILES['FUtxtval1']['whateverwanted'];
See http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php
If the problem is that there may be many input tags on the form, and you're interested in discovering which one is specifically used for uploading files, this bit of jQuery code would accomplish that:
var id = $('input[type=file]').attr('id');
If the problem is that you know the element's ID but do not know the name of the field, you can use:
var name = $('#FUtxtval1').attr('name');
If you're hoping to find out the filename of the file your visitor has chosen in that field through JavaScript, you're stuck. JavaScript does not get any access to that information. You'll have to submit the form and let a server-side script determine the filename at that time.
If I understand correctly, you are trying to obtain the id of the uploaded file using javascript? If so, you will have to process the uploaded file using php ($_FILES['FUtxtval1']) and then print the id to a javascript variable.
Is that what you wanted?
If not, update your q to provide a bit more info about what you are trying to achieve.
