How can I upload generated PDF ?

[PierroD]

Hi 😄
I'm looking for a way to upload the pdf I just built directly to my s3 bucket.

⚠️ I don't want to "output" the file

✔️ I would like to use my fpdf 'object' to upload it directly to my bucket

❓ Is there anyway to do it without generating a local pdf file ?

Thanks 😄

I think you should be able to use the Python boto client for AWS. The S3.Client.put_object allows to send bytes, which is the output of FPDF.output(). I'm sure you can find tutorials online to help you with using boto & S3 😊

I'm currently using boto, I will try to send it using output("I") which give me a string of bytes if I correctly remember

While it may have worked with pyfpdf, with fpdf2 output("I") will save the PDF under a file named I, which is not what you want.
Check out the module documentation: https://pyfpdf.github.io/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.html#fpdf.fpdf.FPDF.output
