Adding PDF output with Hyperlinks #21

Closed KanishkaHalder1771 closed 5 years ago

KanishkaHalder1771 commented 5 years ago

->This modification gives the user and option for the type of output file. For PDF input is 1 and for .txt input is 2. Users can now directly click on the link of the pdf to open the article instead of manually copy pasting the URL.

->The encode('latin-1', 'ignore') code eliminates any character which is not included in the ASCII code. This is essential for writing the text in .pdf format. Next the decode('latin-1') part again decodes the rectified string into byte-form as the FPDF.cel() command takes input in byte-form in Python 3.

->The text color is in black and the link color is in blue in the .pdf output.

->In the line f= open("output.txt","a+", encoding='utf8') encoding='utf8' is required because the default encoding may vary according to the environment. Attaching a screenshot from StackOverflow regarding the matter. Link ->https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42070668/python-3-default-encoding-cp1252 capture

Hey @KanishkaHalder1771, can you add a relevant ss for the pdf file after the ss of the text file?

KanishkaHalder1771 commented 5 years ago

Sorry, couldn't understand what you wanted. Can you explain what you mean by 'ss'

ZER-0-NE commented 5 years ago

My bad. I meant screenshots @KanishkaHalder1771
