I'm working in Python 3.7 and have the python port of FPDF 2.0.3 (https://pypi.org/project/fpdf2/) running. I'm working with a lot of unicode symbols, and some of them need to be a part of the URL. I can write them as text without problem, but I keep getting error messages when a unicode symbol becomes a part of my URL.
Tried to escape with html.escape(str), this didn't work
Rewritten the code to use write_html(html_as_str), this didn't work either
this is working code:
add = "Chronique d‘Égypte (CdE)" ##this is actually pulled in from a MYSQL query using PYMYSQL
from fpdf import FPDF
pdf = FPDF('P', 'mm', 'A4')
pdf.add_page()
pdf.add_font('base', '', r'C:FontsDejaVuSans.ttf', uni=True)
pdf.set_font('base', '',12)
pdf.write(5, add)
pdf.output("goodfile.pdf", "F")
With this script I get the string printed. However I want the string to be printed and be a part of a url like this:
add = "Chronique d‘Égypte (CdE)" ##this is actually pulled in from a MYSQL query using PYMYSQL
from fpdf import FPDF
pdf = FPDF('P', 'mm', 'A4')
pdf.add_page()
pdf.add_font('base', '', r'C:FontsDejaVuSans.ttf', uni=True)
pdf.set_font('base', '',12)
pdf.write(5, add, 'https://www.example.org/index.php?searchterm='+add)
pdf.output("goodfile.pdf", "F")
This second script fails with the following error message in my console:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".print.py", line 543, in <module>
pdf.output(Filename+'_CORPUS.pdf', 'F')
File "C:UsersmeAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37libsite-packagesfpdffpdf.py", line 1239, in output
buffer = self.buffer.encode("latin1")
UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character 'u2018' in position 1587960: ordinal not in range(256)
The error message itself is very confusing as the part that adds the string that causes the error happens around line 470; whereas the traceback only mentions line 543.
I expect the output to be a clickable link in my pdf, opening the default browser and going to the specified URL with the characters as they are in the PDF. I can't replace this character by a normal quote, as it give me other (in this case none) results on that site.
Also, could someone add a tag FPDF2 to help categorize this correctly?

The URL should probably be encoded somehow but we have no idea which encoding your server supports and expects. A reasonable guess would be to encode to UTF-8 and apply URL percent-encoding to the result; so "olé" maps tool%C3%A9

Thanks Tripleee; that was indeed the issue. I had to import quote from urllib like: ` From urllib.parse import quote ` and then use quote round the string like: ` pdf.write(5, add, 'example.org/index.php?searchterm='+quote(add)) `
