Some time ago, we include PDFLabel too, so you can simplify your code
if you are using an avery-compatible format ( the sys stuff is only
needed if you're using a non-english language):
def label_bikes():
from gluon.contrib.pyfpdf.pdflabels import PDFLabel
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding( "latin-1" )
pdf = PDFLabel('Apli-01277')
pdf.add_page()
rows = db(db.bike.id.belongs(bikeIds)).select()
# Print labels
for row in rows:
idString = row.destination + str(row.id)
more_text = idString
more_text += "Make: " + row.make + "\n" if row.make else ""
more_text += "Model: " + row.model + "\n" if row.model else ""
more_text += "Size: " + row.size + "\n" if row.size else ""
pdf.add_label(more_text)
response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/pdf'
response.headers['Content-Disposition']='attachment.filename = sample.pdf'
return pdf.output(dest='S')
