I am using the following external method to write pdf files.
import subprocess def html2pdf(self,source): f=open('/opt/scholarpack/ancillary/pdf.html','w') f.write(source) f.close p=subprocess.Popen(['htmldoc', '--webpage', '/opt/scholarpack/ancillary/pdf.html','-f', '/opt/scholarpack/ancillary/mypdf.pdf']) p.wait()
When I do this the html is truncated and an incomplete pdf is generated. However, if I rum htmldoc in a terminal on the same html file then the ouput is perfect. Can anyone see where the external method may be going wrong, apart from the formatting that kmail is enforcing on this code snippet!?
This has nothing to do with calling the code from an external method. Check if you get a proper result using os.system() or using the commands module. -aj
