I am using
pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('Arial', 'Arial.ttf'))
pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('Arial-Bold', 'Arial-Bold.ttf'))
I have converted "image_fonts.qrc" into image_fonts_rc.py file
. It has one image named as "image.png" and "Arial-Bold.ttf"
My question is How to use image and fonts into reportlab PDF in python from qrc.py file.
image_fonts.qrc
<RCC>
<qresource prefix="image_fonts">
<file>Arial-Bold.TTF</file>
<file>logo.png</file>
<file>Arial.TTF</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
A possible solution is to read the font using QFile and save it in io.BytesIO can already be read by TTFont reportlab:
from io import BytesIO
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics
from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
from PyQt5.QtCore import QFile, QIODevice
import image_fonts_rc
def convert_qrc_to_bytesio(filename):
file = QFile(filename)
if not file.open(QIODevice.ReadOnly):
raise RuntimeError(file.errorString())
return
f = BytesIO(file.readAll().data())
return f
pdfmetrics.registerFont(
TTFont("Arial", convert_qrc_to_bytesio(":/image_fonts/Arial.TTF"))
)
pdfmetrics.registerFont(
TTFont("Arial-Bold", convert_qrc_to_bytesio(":/image_fonts/Arial-Bold.TTF"))
)
c = canvas.Canvas("hello.pdf")
c.setFont("Arial", 32)
c.drawString(100, 750, "Welcome to Reportlab!")
c.save()
