WE have a databricks Job that will aggregate some data and create some data tables. This needs to be exported out in a PDF format.
I have seen a few python libraries that can generate PDF, but was wondering if the PDF can be generated and dropped in a cloud storage location frm databricks job.
If anyone has some ideas on this, greatly appreciated.

Hey @Mulder81 ,
After generating file you can copy it to dediacted blob storage using below command.
dbutils.fs.cp(source_path, destination_path)
You can also try saving file in desired path (blob storage) but there can be some obstacles
BR,

Hey @Mulder81
You can try this article
It uses pandas and fpdf. Also you need to read about temporary place/path where you save pdf for later copying for blob
