Is it possible to show a PDF file in the Django view, rather than making the user have to download it to see it?

And if it is possible, how would it be done?

This is what I have so far - Crestron software download.

Simplistically, if you have a PDF file and you want to output it through a Django view, all you need to do is dump the file contents into the response and send it with the appropriate mimetype.

You can probably just return the response directly without specifying Content-Disposition, but that better indicates your intention and also allows you specify the filename just in case the user decides to save it.

Also, note that the view above doesn't handle the scenario where the file cannot be opened or read for whatever reason. Since it's done with with, it won't raise any exceptions, but you still must return some sort of response. You could simply raise an Http404 or something, though.

Django has a class specifically for returning files, FileResponse. It streams files, so that you don't have to read the entire file into memory before returning it. Here you go:

If you have really large files or if you're doing this a lot, a better option would probably be to serve these files outside of Django using normal server configuration.

If you are working on a Windows machine pdf must be opened as rb not r.

Take out inline; if you want your file to be read from server. And also, the HttpResponse kwarg mimetype has been replaced by content_type:

Following @radtek's answer above I decided to investigate a class-based view display. I tried to use View but it didn't have get_context_data() method.

I looked here for some guidance. I settled for BaseDetailView since I wanted to display just one object.

Commentary

1 This line accesses a named argument pk passed by the url calling the view.

2 This line gets the actual pdf model object.

3 I defined a method filename(self): return os.path.basename(self.file.name) in my model to help me get just the filename plus extension.

4 This line gets the complete filepath.

Then use file response as explained in the answers above. Also remember to use rb to read the pdf file

Here is a typical use-case for displaying a PDF using class-based views:

For generating your own pdf with reportlab see the Django project Docs on PDF Generation.

Chris Pratt's response shows a good example of opening existing PDFs.

Browsers aren't PDF readers (unless they have the proper plugin/addon).

You may want to render the PDF as HTML instead, which can be done from the backend or the frontend.

I am just throwing this out there.

You can simply add your PDF resume to your static files.

If you are using White Noise to serve your static files, then you don't even need to make the view. Download free evanescence special 2004 rar software mac. Just then access your resume at the static location.

I added mine, here it is: https://www.jefferythewind.com/static/main/resume/TIm-D_Nice.pdf

Warning: This doesn't solve the login_required requirement in the question

The easiest way to do this is probably with an anchor in a template. For example, if you are using Django's templating engine (as most people who search for this probably are), simply serve it as a static file through an anchor.

In your template that will contain a link to the file, add at the very top

Then, wherever you want to link to your pdf, put

The first line tells Django to look in the directories configured for static files in settings.py. The path that you use in the anchor tag is relative to any of the directories that you configured as static directories in settings.py. When you click the rendered link, it should display the PDF in your browser, provided you have your static files pathed correctly.

For my django powered site, I am looking for an easy solution to convert dynamic html pages to pdf.

Pages include HTML and charts from Google visualization API (which is javascript based, yet including those graphs is a must).

Try the solution from Reportlab.

Download it and install it as usual with python setup.py install

You will also need to install the following modules: xhtml2pdf, html5lib, pypdf with easy_install.

Here is an usage example:

First define this function:

Then you can use it like this:

The template:

Hope it helps.

I just whipped this up for CBV. Not used in production but generates a PDF for me. Probably needs work for the error reporting side of things but does the trick so far.

Used like:

After trying to get this to work for too many hours, I finally found this:https://github.com/vierno/django-xhtml2pdf

It's a fork of https://github.com/chrisglass/django-xhtml2pdf that provides a mixin for a generic class-based view. I used it like this:

Use the model name you defined in your view in all lowercase when populating the template fields. Because its a GCBV, you can just call it as '.as_view' in your urls.py:
