Creating a PDF file generator

Using Streamlit
2

Hi @Pavan_Cheyutha,

You sure can !
Though streamlit doesnt support PDF generation out of the box for obvious reasons but you can look into PyFPDF and coupled with streamlit it can do the job. Adding a snippet that I just tried for reference.

import streamlit as st
from fpdf import FPDF
import base64

report_text = st.text_input("Report Text")


export_as_pdf = st.button("Export Report")

def create_download_link(val, filename):
    b64 = base64.b64encode(val)  # val looks like b'...'
    return f'<a href="data:application/octet-stream;base64,{b64.decode()}" download="{filename}.pdf">Download file</a>'

if export_as_pdf:
    pdf = FPDF()
    pdf.add_page()
    pdf.set_font('Arial', 'B', 16)
    pdf.cell(40, 10, report_text)
    
    html = create_download_link(pdf.output(dest="S").encode("latin-1"), "test")

    st.markdown(html, unsafe_allow_html=True)

Will give you this.
