Need a script that'll convert a big text file to handwriting PDF #1

Open YourAKShaw opened 3 years ago

YourAKShaw commented 3 years ago

As the title has already said it, it's the main want and need of the hour to make this repo complete in its bare minimum!

I've been trying to work on a script that'll convert a text file which has a lot of text, like a story, etc., to PDF.

If we get a script like this, then we won't even have to leave the CLI to generate the required PDF or images for a big assignment, etc. !!

I'm still working on this.

Help will be appreciated and suggestions are always welcome.

Any resource that you found useful, for doing this?

YourAKShaw commented 3 years ago

No luck yet.

There are tons of resources for Selenium using Python out there though.

Actually I referred to it 2 days ago, but encountered a runtime error.

I made an issue on the same day: https://github.com/sharanya02/Text-file-to-handwritten-pdf-file/issues/23

Plus, I tried to search for more repositories. My main need was that I wanted to convert text to handwriting using the command line. I went through this source code -> https://github.com/saurabhdaware/text-to-handwriting, plus also discussed with @saurabhdaware on Twitter, and got to know that what he built uses a library html2canvas which is heavily browser based, so there was no real way of using the command line to generate the result using his code. Even he suggested to use Selenium automation. I further added a code that hides the browser preview during the automation, which further gives the feel as if the task is being taken care of using the command line alone.

My main reason for using his app is that it's the best one I've seen!
