Code to extract text from pdf to excel
I love to use PDFMiner and PDFQuery for this https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six https://towardsdatascience.com/scrape-data-from-pdf-files-using-python-and-pdfquery-d033721c3b28

how do I automate extracting data from two pdfs and input into an excel sheet according to an order number
Entering things in Excel is very easy. Extracting things from PDF is a pain. This (https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six) gets pretty close to what you need, but it may be easier to use this to just convert the entire PDF to text and parse the text to extract the info you need.
- Can I make a code to compare a pdf file and an excel sheet by line by line tell the difference in amounts?

Creating a python class for organizing courses I took in my education
Technically this information is on my transcript, so I will be trying to use pdfminer to extract that data if there is a way to use a class you recommend when using that code https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six

CSS for Printing to Paper
You don't _have_ to use a browser. I had very good results with Weasyprint [0]. And there's also PrinceXML [1] if you're willing to pay.

Show HN: A new open-source library to design PDF using React
Thanks for your answer! I imagined you would be using PrinceXML behind the scenes since that is probably the gold standard in HTML+CSS rendering.
The only open source alternative I know of is WeasyPrint at https://weasyprint.org/. I'm not sure how well it fares against PrinceXML, though.
And thanks for the pointer to Taffy - I didn't know it before!

Htmldocs: Typeset and Generate PDFs with HTML/CSS
Flexbox support has been [included][1] since 2018, although my use case was the prototypical one - a single row w/ 3 columns - so YMMV with how it handles more complex layouts.

How to Simply Generate a PDF From HTML in Symfony With WeasyPrint
Performance is not the strength of WeasyPrint, meaning that heavy HTML files will increase generation time. You should always compress images before attaching them, as they are not compressed by default. Generating a 50-page-long PDF may take up to a minute in extreme cases, although multi-page documents generated on my project take fewer than 2 seconds to generate.

The Gemini protocol seen by this HTTP client person (curl dev)
Well yes, but you can implement HTML+CSS. WeasyPrint did from scratch, and independent implementations of HTML+CSS are considerably more numerous than HTML+CSS+JS.

RE: If you had to pick a library from another language (Rust, JS, etc.) that isn’t currently available in Python and have it instantly converted into Python for you to use, what would it be?
You should maybe check out weasyprint. https://weasyprint.org/
