Re: Convert html page to pdf

Thanks a lot for example. It didn't work but I found a solution with
work. After some modifications:

        from xhtml2pdf.pisa import CreatePDF, startViewer
        from tg.render import render as render_template
        import cStringIO
        html = render_template({"param1": 1, "param2": 2}, "genshi",
"myapp.templates.page", doctype=None)
        dest = '/home/user/files/pdf/test.pdf'
        result = file(dest, "wb")
        pdf = CreatePDF(cStringIO.StringIO(html), result)
        result.close()
        import paste.fileapp
        f = paste.fileapp.FileApp('/home/user/files/pdf/test.pdf')
        from tg import use_wsgi_app
        return use_wsgi_app(f)

It's work fine without national characters but with it in template
it's returning the error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0119' in
position 2497: ordinal not in range(128)

I have in my script:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

and also in template:

<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"
py:if="False"/>

How can I set default encoding to utf-8 for render? Or is there any
other solution?

please help
