Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be opening and capturing screenshot of url as pdf document in browser using pyqt5 framework in python. All the full source code of the application is shown below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to install the below libraries using the pip command as shown below
pip install pyqt5
pip install pyqtwebengine
And after that you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code
app.py

import sys from PyQt5.QtCore import QUrl from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEngineView from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication app = QApplication(sys.argv) view = QWebEngineView() view.load(QUrl("http://google.com")) view.show() def save_pdf(): view.page().printToPdf("document.pdf") view.loadFinished.connect(save_pdf) sys.exit(app.exec_()) |
As you can see we are importing the pyqt5 and pyqtwebengine libraries at the very top and then we are opening a new url inside the browser which is https://www.google.com and then we are converting the url to pdf document and then we are saving the pdf document with the filename called document.pdf. We are loading the remote url using the QUrl widget. Now if you open the app.py file inside the command line as shown below
python app.py
