Santosh,<br><br>Excellent effort. Kudos to you and the SMC team.<br><br>I feel that we should setup a wiki page or similar close to the project page for users to put up feedback. <br><br>Note: Checked with Kannada. The preview verision works fine for most part, which is good. There are some trivial bugs. <br>

Hi,<br>
We are working on a Complex script PDF rendering library named<br>
PyPDFLib(<a href="https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pypdflib/" target="_blank">https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pypdflib/</a>). One of its<br>
test case (or use case) is to render a wiki page in complex script(any<br>
Indian Language) to PDF. Currently PDF export feature is not<br>
available(not working) for Indian language wiki projects because of<br>
technical incapability of Python Reportlab library.<br>
<br>
Just wanted to give an early preview of this software library through<br>
an online interface : <a href="http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render" target="_blank">http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render</a><br>
You can try with a Wikipedia page in your language and verify the generated PDF.<br>
You can also access this using this URL<br>
<a href="http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render?wiki=http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/" target="_blank">http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render?wiki=http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/</a>இலங்கை<br>
(replace that wiki URL with other page addresses too - any Ianguage -<br>
not limited to Indian languages)<br>
<br>
There are lot of items not implemented, but your feedback is requested<br>
on the current version.<br>
The library uses Pango for text rendering and Cairo for graphics and<br>
PDF features.<br>
<br>
ps: Don't get surprised if you get a 500 Error page for the random<br>
page you are trying. Just try another wiki page ;)<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
