pdfkit image not embedded using Django
Question:
I’m converting a protected webpage into pdf using Django and this solution.
The solution works great except the part that the webpage contains images which do not show up in the pdf and i get an error
Warning: Failed to load file:///media/images/main/logo.jpg (ignore)
I’m currently using from_string method as follows
pdfkit.from_string(msg_html, 'testing123.pdf') #msg_html contains html string with images
Answers:
turns out that url of images in html document that needs to be converted to pdf using pdfkit needs to have an absolute url
in my html file, i had to update my urls as follows:
<img src="/media/images/main/logo.jpg">
to
<img src="https://test.mywebsite.com/media/images/main/logo.jpg">
using this i was able to generated pdf containing my logo from the html file
