Running the Tool

1. Generate HTML Template

   The JSON data is input into a Google Gemini prompt to generate the HTML template.

   # Sample code for generating HTML using Google Gemini and your JSON data
   html_content = generate_html_from_json(json_data)

2. Save HTML to File

   file_path = 'cv.html'
   with open(file_path, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as file:
       file.write(html_content)

3. Convert HTML to PDF

   This configuration is for Ubuntu and may vary for Windows. Please check and adapt the following code accordingly.

   import os
   import time
   from selenium import webdriver
   from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
   import base64
   
   file_url = 'file://' + os.path.abspath('cv.html')
   chrome_driver_path = '/path/to/chromedriver'
   
   options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
   options.add_argument('--headless')
   options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
   options.add_argument('--kiosk-printing')
   
   service = Service(executable_path=chrome_driver_path)
   driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)
   driver.get(file_url)
   time.sleep(3)
   
   params = {
