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.
