To add text and images to a PDF document and save it as output using the Python 3 fpdf library, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Install the fpdf library using pip.
pip install fpdf
Step 3: Create a custom class that inherits from the FPDF class.
app.py

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 |
from fpdf import FPDF class PDF(FPDF): def header(self): # Add header content if needed pass def footer(self): # Add footer content if needed pass def chapter_title(self, title): # Add chapter title self.set_font('Arial', 'B', 16) self.cell(0, 10, title, ln=True, align='C') self.ln(10) def chapter_body(self, content): # Add chapter body content self.set_font('Arial', '', 12) self.multi_cell(0, 10, content) self.ln(10) def add_image(self, image_path, x, y, width, height): # Add image to the PDF self.image(image_path, x, y, width, height) def add_text(self, text): # Add text to the PDF self.set_font('Arial', '', 12) self.multi_cell(0, 10, text) self.ln(10) |
As you can see we have defined all the methods inside the class to add the text and images inside the pdf document with formatting. Now we need to create a new object of the above class as shown below

# Create a new PDF instance pdf = PDF() # Set up the PDF document pdf.set_title('My PDF Document') pdf.set_author('John Doe') # Add a new page pdf.add_page() # Add content to the PDF pdf.chapter_title('Chapter 1: Introduction') pdf.chapter_body('This is the introduction of the document.') # Add an image to the PDF pdf.add_image('image.jpg', x=10, y=50, width=100, height=100) # Add more text to the PDF pdf.add_text('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.') pdf.add_text('Pellentesque ac orci eget libero mattis eleifend.') # Save the PDF as output pdf.output('output.pdf') |
