Package: python-pisa
Version: 3.0.32-1
Severity: normal
According to the manual page, it's possible to send the output of
xhtml2pdf to stdout:
DEST
Name of the generated PDF file or - if you like to send the result
to stdout. Take care that the destination file is not already opened by an
other application like the Adobe Reader. If the
destination is not writeable a similar name will be calculated
automatically.
But when using that feature, the PDF output is mixed with diagnostic
output from xhtml2pdf, making it unusable. Example:
$ echo "test" | xhtml2pdf - - >/tmp/test.pdf 2>/dev/null ; head -2
/tmp/test.pdf
Converting - to -...
%PDF-1.3
So the generated pdf is prefixed with a line "Converting - to -...".
This line should probably be sent to stderr instead of stdout.
I didn't check if there is other output sent to stdout during
processing.
