Turning a xlsx into multiple PDFs

0 votes

I have a python script that takes a .xlsx file with multiple worksheets and splits each one of them into a seperate PDF with the worksheet name as the new file name.

import openpyxl
import pandas as pd
from matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf import PdfPages
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def xlsx_to_pdf(filename):
    wb = openpyxl.load_workbook(filename)
    for ws in wb:
        df = pd.DataFrame(ws.values)
        with PdfPages(f"{ws.title}.pdf") as pdf:
            fig, ax = plt.subplots()
            ax.axis('tight')
            ax.axis('off')
            the_table = ax.table(cellText=df.values,
                                  colLabels=df.columns,
                                  cellLoc='center',
                                  loc='center')
            pdf.savefig(fig, bbox_inches='tight')

xlsx_to_pdf("Provisionsabrechnung.xlsx")

The only problem I have is that the lines on the tabel it creates are really thick and the text is super small. imported worksheet exported PDF

You just need to adjust the font size with Table.set_font_size (after turning off the auto-size) :

the_table.auto_set_font_size(False)
the_table.set_fontsize(12) # <- adjust the size here

And for the borders, you can make thin borders with a table.Cell.set_linewidth for each cell separately:

cell.set_linewidth(0.3) # <- adjust the width here

The full code :

def xlsx_to_pdf(filename):
    wb = openpyxl.load_workbook(filename)
    for ws in wb:
        df = pd.DataFrame(ws.values)
        with PdfPages(f"{ws.title}.pdf") as pdf:
            fig, ax = plt.subplots()
            ax.axis("tight")
            ax.axis("off")
            the_table = ax.table(cellText=df.values,
                                  colLabels=df.columns,
                                  cellLoc="center",
                                  loc="center")
            the_table.auto_set_font_size(False)
            the_table.set_fontsize(10)
            for _, cell in the_table._cells.items():
                cell.set_linewidth(0.5)
            pdf.savefig(fig, bbox_inches="tight")

xlsx_to_pdf("file.xlsx")

Output :
