This version is experimental, don't use it in production. If you find bugs, please report them!
Command-line API
-
The
--optimize-size
option and its short equivalent-O
have been deprecated. To activate or deactivate different size optimizations, you can now use:--uncompressed-pdf
,--optimize-images
,--full-fonts
,--hinting
,--dpi <resolution>
, and--jpeg-quality <quality>
.
-
A new
--cache-folder <folder>
option has been added to store temporary data in the given folder on the disk instead of keeping them in memory.
Python API
-
Global rendering options are now given in
**options
instead of dedicated parameters, with slightly different names. It means that the signature of theHTML.render()
,HTML.write_pdf()
andDocument.write_pdf()
has changed. Here are the steps to port your Python code to v59.0:-
Use named parameters for these functions, not positioned parameters.
-
Rename some the parameters:
image_cache
becomescache
(see below),identifier
becomespdf_identifier
,variant
becomespdf_variant
,version
becomespdf_version
,forms
becomespdf_forms
,
-
-
The
optimize_size
parameter ofHTML.render()
,HTML.write_pdf()
andDocument()
has been removed and will be ignored. You can now use theuncompressed_pdf
,full_fonts
,hinting
,dpi
andjpeg_quality
parameters that are included in**options
. -
The
cache
parameter can be included in**options
to replaceimage_cache
. If it is a dictionary, this dictionary will be used to store temporary data in memory, and can be even shared between multiple documents. If it’s a folder Path or string, WeasyPrint stores temporary data in the given temporary folder on disk instead of keeping them in memory.
