How to add filepath for storing PDF files in specific folder

Piyush

There seems to be no attribute which allows us to store PDf file in different folder. My printer function looks something like this:

def get_print(self):
    dialog = QtPrintSupport.QPrintDialog()
    self.handlePaintRequest(dialog.printer())
    
def handlePaintRequest(self, printer):
    printer.setOrientation(QtPrintSupport.QPrinter.Landscape)
    printer.setPaperSize(QtCore.QSizeF(297,420), QtPrintSupport.QPrinter.Millimeter)
    printer.setOutputFormat(QtPrintSupport.QPrinter.PdfFormat)
    temp_pdf =  "abc.pdf"
    
    printer.setOutputFileName(temp_pdf)
    
    (self.pdf).append(temp_pdf)
    
    self.ui.tabWidget.render(QtGui.QPainter(printer))

@mrjj Can you please help?

Hi,

Did you try to just use the full path to where you want your file to be rather than just give it the name ?

@Piyush said in How to add filepath for storing PDF files in specific folder:

printer.setOutputFileName(temp_pdf)

temp_pdf = "c:/xxx/yyy/abc.pdf"
Here you would just use full path.
However, a more normal case is to use
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfiledialog.html
so user can select folder.
