Hi Sami Ullah,

This script is based on your post so I hope it helps.

    width, height = A4

    # Title
    c.setFont("Helvetica-Bold", 16)
    c.drawString(30, height - 50, "SOPE 2028 – Weekly Study Plan (Science/Engineering Background)")

# CLI support
if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Generate SOPE 2028 Weekly Study Plan PDF")
    parser.add_argument("--output", type=str, default="SOPE_2028_Weekly_Study_Plan_with_Checkboxes.pdf",

    args = parser.parse_args()

    output_path = os.path.abspath(args.output)
    generate_study_plan_pdf(output_path)

How to Use

Save the script as generate_sope_plan.py.

Run it from the terminal: If you have any issues double check all your location and for typing errors.

python generate_sope_plan.py --output "C:/Users/YourName/Desktop/SOPE_2028_Plan.pdf"
