Hello Santhosh

Many thanks for the tool, and yes, it worked. I've rendered a Bengali Wikipedia article with this tool. As far as I see, the characters are okay, but there are problems with the placement of images. Texts are not showing next to the images. They are placed top/below of the images. Also, the link of references aren't shown there. Copying the URL from the browser address bar isn't working I think, I had to type. Waiting for others' feedback.


Regards,

Tanvir

Hi,
We are working on a Complex script PDF rendering library named
PyPDFLib(https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pypdflib/). One of its
test case (or use case) is to render a wiki page in complex script(any
Indian Language) to PDF. Currently PDF export feature is not
available(not working) for Indian language wiki projects because of
technical incapability of Python Reportlab library.

Just wanted to give an early preview of this software library through
an online interface : http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render
You can try with a Wikipedia page in your language and verify the generated PDF.
You can also access this using this URL
http://silpa.smc.org.in/Render?wiki=http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/இலங்கை
(replace that wiki URL with other page addresses too - any Ianguage -
not limited to Indian languages)

There are lot of items not implemented, but your feedback is requested
on the current version.
The library uses Pango for text rendering and Cairo for graphics and
PDF features.

ps: Don't get surprised if you get a 500 Error page for the random
page you are trying. Just try another wiki page ;)

Thanks
