Convert csv data to a pdf file

Introduction

Python

Suppose there is a .csv file input.csv with three columns price, count and extra with several rows

price,count,extra 2,5,10 3,7,12

Task - read the file and create one pdf per row from this data.

pdflatex

Solution with pdflatex

python -m pip install pdflatex

import csv from pdflatex import PDFLaTeX with open("input.csv", "r") as fin: dr = csv.DictReader(fin, delimiter=",") j = 0 for i in dr: filename = "pdf_"+str(j)+".tex" j+=1 with open(filename, "w") as ftex: document = "\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}\n"\ +"\\begin{document}\n"\ +"\section{Results}"\ +"$price = "+i['price']+"$\\\n"\ +"$count = "+i['count']+"$\\\n"\ +"$extra = "+i['extra']+"$\\\n"\ +"\end{document}" ftex.write(document) pdfl = PDFLaTeX.from_texfile(filename) pdf, log, completed_process = pdfl.create_pdf(keep_pdf_file=True, keep_log_file=True)

subprocess

import csv import subprocess with open("input.csv", "r") as fin: dr = csv.DictReader(fin, delimiter=",") j = 0 for i in dr: filename = "pdf_"+str(j)+".tex" j+=1 with open(filename, "w") as ftex: document = "\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}\n"\ +"\\begin{document}\n"\ +"\section{Results}"\ +"$price = "+i['price']+"$\\\n"\ +"$count = "+i['count']+"$\\\n"\ +"$extra = "+i['extra']+"$\\\n"\ +"\end{document}" ftex.write(document) subprocess.check_call(["pdflatex", filename])
