Perfect, are you offering a bootcamp for automation?

Hello,
First of all, thanks for the demonstration.
If my HTML is already formatted and I just want to convert it into a PDF, how can I do it? I skip the variable steps only, correct?

Hi,
first of all, ty for that good video :).

For my self-developed ERP System i try to make a module wich creates my invoces.
Now what would happen in your program if you have so many posts that a new page is needed. Would it detect the page break itself or try to continue writing on the first page?

When the document is long, in cases where it is necessary to repeat the header and footer, in addition to dealing with page breaks, what do you recommend?

Hello, I wanted to create a table in my pdf, . I will supply the input as an array. Is it possible to iterate through the array in the html using a for loop? Or will it take only static variables?

[janawue]

Hi, thank you for the really good video! Do you have any idea how I can deal with this if I have a variable number of invoice items and want to display them in the PDF? I am not sure how to do this in the HTML template.

Nothing against you as a creator, but I am learning python and my udemy course has this unfortunate portion that deals with pdf's... after watching your video, i can 1000% say, that making pdf's is the worst thing i have learned in python so far and couldn't even complete that portion of my course. HTML in python, basically, is just horrendous and mind numbing. anything to do with creation is front end and focusing on backend, its just masochism.
