PyFPDF 在编码为字节字符串后返回空白 pdf

Question

I need to convert a PyFPDF object into a byte string first, and then save it as a file. However, the following code saves a blank PDF file. When I add pages, the blank pages are added, but all text disappears. What can I do to solve this problem?

The PDF creation code is taken from the Hello World example.

pdf = FPDF('P', 'mm', 'A4')
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font('Arial', 'B', 16)
pdf.cell(40, 10, 'Hello World!')
pdf.close()
return_byte_string = pdf.output("output_file.pdf", 'S')

with open("output_file.pdf", "w") as pdf_file:
    pdf_file.write(return_byte_string)

如果您使用的是 python 3.x，则需要执行以下操作。

return_byte_string = pdf.output("output_file.pdf", 'S').encode('latin-1')
