Use multi_cell() method instead of text() method.
multi_cell or cell are directly recommended by the text() method documentation:
From text() method documentation:
text() method prints a character string. The origin is on the left of the first character, on the baseline. This method allows placing a string precisely on the page, but it is usually easier to use cell, multi_cell or write, which are the standard methods to print text.
To test your program I have created a text file called file.txt which contains your example text:
Hello World. This is test text.
ASDFASDFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hello World. This is test text.
ASDFASDFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hello World. This is test text.
ASDFASDFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Changing your code to use multi_cell() and read the text message to write to the PDF file, from the text file file.txt, your program becomes:
from fpdf import FPDF
import webbrowser
fileNameBase = "question_so"
'''+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Reads and returns the text contained into the file.txt
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++'''
def get_file_content():
text = ""
with open('file.txt') as f:
for line in f:
text += line
return text
def main():
pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font('Arial', 'B', 14)
# I have commented your call to text() method
#pdf.text(0, 0 , text)
# read the content of the file
text = get_file_content()
pdf.multi_cell(w=210, h=6, txt=text, border=0, align='L', fill=False)
pdf.output(fileNameBase + ".pdf", "F")
webbrowser.open_new('question_so.pdf')
main()
By the execution of the function main() I get a PDF file called question_so.pdf with the content showed by the following image:
