Django Render HTML to PDF - html

Question

I'm trying to render an html file to pdf however while the pdf functionality is working fine the rendering is working properly, no css. Also it renders the whole page, how can i render specific sections of the html page. I'm using xhtml2pdf.
views.py file
from io import BytesIO
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.views import View
from xhtml2pdf import pisa
def render_to_pdf(template_src, context_dict={}):
template = get_template(template_src)
html = template.render(context_dict)
result = BytesIO()
pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(BytesIO(html.encode("utf-8")), result)
if not pdf.err:
return HttpResponse(result.getvalue(), content_type='application/pdf')
return None
data = {
"company": "Name",
}
#Opens up page as PDF
class ViewPDF(View):
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
pdf = render_to_pdf('listings/listing.html', data)
return HttpResponse(pdf, content_type='application/pdf')
urls.py file
path('pdf_view/', views.ViewPDF.as_view(), name="pdf_view"),
html file
<section class="p0">
<div class="container">
<div class="row listing_single_row">
<div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-7 col-xl-8">
<div class="single_property_title">
<span class="flaticon-photo-camera"></span> View Photos
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 col-lg-5 col-xl-4">
<div class="single_property_social_share">
<div class="spss style2 mt10 text-right tal-400">
<ul class="mb0">
<li class="list-inline-item"><span class="flaticon-transfer-1"></span></li>
<li class="list-inline-item"><span class="flaticon-heart"></span></li>
<li class="list-inline-item"><span class="flaticon-share"></span></li>
<li class="list-inline-item"><span class="flaticon-printer"></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
Thank you!

Ans 1.) If you want to style your html than directly use style property in tag. If you make class and use template inheritance than it is not going to work as it is independent html. Use style directly in html.
Ans 2.) if you want specific section of html in pdf than write content which you need in html or use style = “display: none ;” on section which you dont want in pdf.
