[Django]-How to change page size in pdf generated by pisa

5👍

✅

You can do it by overloading a default CSS definition.
To get the current default CSS use the command line tool like this:

xhtml2pdf --css-dump > /path-to-your-project/default.css

Then, open the resulting file and insert the following line at the end:

@page { size: A5 }

In your code, you can use the resulting file as follows:

pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO(html.encode("ISO-8859-1")), result,  default_css=open('default.css','r').read())

Simply writing the snippet below in the style tag, did the trick for me.

@page { size: A5 }
