def save_as_pdf(self, result, font_size=12):
    # Prompt the user to select the save location
    save_dialog = QFileDialog()
    save_dialog.setWindowTitle("Save PDF File")
    save_dialog.setNameFilter("PDF Files (*.pdf)")
    save_dialog.setDefaultSuffix("pdf")  # Set the default file extension
    save_dialog.setAcceptMode(QFileDialog.AcceptSave)

    if save_dialog.exec():
        file_path = save_dialog.selectedFiles()[0]

        # Check if a file was selected
        if file_path:
            # Create a PDF document
            doc = SimpleDocTemplate(file_path, pagesize=landscape(A4))
            # Get the available page width and height in landscape orientation
            page_width, page_height = landscape(A4)
            # Define the table data and style

            # Reshape and reorient Arabic text
            reshaped_table_data = []
            for row in result.values.tolist():
                reshaped_row = [get_display(arabic_reshaper.reshape(str(item))) for item in row]
                reshaped_table_data.append(reshaped_row)
            reshaped_columns = [get_display(arabic_reshaper.reshape(str(item))) for item in result.columns]
            table_data = [reshaped_columns] + reshaped_table_data

            table_style = TableStyle([
                ('BACKGROUND', (0, 0), (-1, 0), colors.lightgrey),
                ('TEXTCOLOR', (0, 0), (-1, 0), colors.black),
                ('ALIGN', (0, 0), (-1, -1), 'RIGHT'),
                ('FONTNAME', (0, 0), (-1, 0), 'Arial'),  # Use the font you registered
                ('FONTSIZE', (0, 0), (-1, 0), 7),

            ])

            # Create a table with the data and style
            table = Table(table_data)
            table.setStyle(table_style)

            # Build the PDF document with the table
            elements = [table]
            doc.build(elements)

            QMessageBox.information(None, "DONE")

Hi @Monther1990

Sorry but I will not be able to help you.

Your are using reportlabs in your code.
This is the GitHub project for fpdf2, which is another Python library that can render PDF documents.
