Is it possible to simulate printing - save as PDF?

Question

Django

Chrome has a cool feature that allows you to save a page as a PDF - File. In my case it works quite well, the question is: how can this be simulated with Python?

Answer 1

import pdfkit
pdfkit.from_url('http://google.com', 'google.pdf')

On Ubuntu there was this error:

IOError: No wkhtmltopdf executable found: ""
If this file exists please check that this process can read it. Otherwise please install wkhtmltopdf - https://github.com/JazzCore/python-pdfkit/wiki/Installing-wkhtmltopdf

After installing wkhtmltopdf, the page was safely saved as pdf

Answer 2

It is possible, with the help of a headless browser - Selenium, phantom.js, etc., all that remains is to extract the screenshots, and use the library to link them to PDF.
