PDF Generation

PDF generation module for Simulchip proxy cards.

This module provides functionality to generate print-ready PDF files containing proxy cards for Netrunner. Cards are laid out in a 3x3 grid optimized for standard card sleeves.

Classes:: ProxyPDFGenerator: Main class for generating proxy PDFs.

class simulchip.pdf.generator.ProxyPDFGenerator[source]

Bases: object

Generate PDF files with proxy cards.

This class creates print-ready PDFs with Netrunner cards laid out in a 3x3 grid. Cards are sized to match standard Netrunner dimensions (63mm x 88mm) and are optimized for printing and sleeving.

CARD_WIDTH: Standard Netrunner card width (63mm).

CARD_HEIGHT: Standard Netrunner card height (88mm).

PAGE_MARGIN: Margin around the page edges.

CARD_SPACING: Space between cards.

Examples

Generate a PDF with proxy cards:

generator = ProxyPDFGenerator(api_client)
missing_cards = [CardInfo(...)]
generator.generate_pdf(missing_cards, "proxies.pdf")

CARD_WIDTH = 178.58267716535434

CARD_HEIGHT = 249.4488188976378

PAGE_MARGIN = 18.0

CARD_SPACING = 9.0

__init__(api_client, page_size='letter')[source]

Initialize PDF generator.

Parameters:

api_client (NetrunnerDBAPI) – NetrunnerDB API client instance for fetching card images.
page_size (str) – Page size for the PDF. Supported values are “letter” (8.5x11 inches) or “a4”. Defaults to “letter”.

Note

The generator always uses a 3x3 grid layout regardless of page size to ensure consistent card sizing and optimal printing.

output_path (Path) – Output PDF file path
download_images (bool) – Whether to download card images
group_by_pack (bool) – Whether to group cards by pack
interactive_printing_selection (bool) – Whether to prompt for alternate printings

Return type:

None

generate_pack_pdf(pack_code, output_path, collection_manager, download_images=True)[source]

Parameters:

pack_code (str) – Pack code
output_path (Path) – Output PDF file path
collection_manager (CollectionManager) – Collection manager to check owned cards
