Example using cairo and Pango (Linux/macOS):
pangocairo_context.update_layout(layout) pangocairo_context.show_layout(layout) surface.finish() For scanned Khmer PDFs, convert to images then use Tesseract with Khmer language pack. python khmer pdf
from fpdf import FPDF pdf = FPDF() pdf.add_page() pdf.add_font('khmer', '', 'KhmerOS.ttf', uni=True) pdf.set_font('khmer', size=12) pdf.cell(0, 10, txt="ជំរាបសួរ", ln=1) pdf.output("fpdf_khmer.pdf") encoding="utf-8") as f: yaml.dump(data
layout = pangocairo_context.create_layout() layout.set_text("កម្ពុជា") layout.set_font_description(pango.FontDescription("Khmer OS 12")) python khmer pdf
c = canvas.Canvas("khmer_sample.pdf", pagesize=A4) c.setFont('KhmerFont', 14) c.drawString(100, 750, "សួស្តីពិភពលោក") # "Hello World" in Khmer c.save() ⚠️ Ensure the TrueType font supports Khmer and is placed in your working directory. fpdf2 can embed Unicode fonts, but complex scripts like Khmer often break due to lack of proper shaping.
with open("data.yaml", "w", encoding="utf-8") as f: yaml.dump(data, f, allow_unicode=True)
c.save() data = "ចំណងជើង": "របាយការណ៍ប្រចាំឆ្នាំ", "កាលបរិច្ឆេទ": "២០២៥-០៣-០១"
