Answer 1

In your resume function: instead of:

template= loader.get_template("Resume/profile.html")
html= template.render({'user_profile':user_profile}

use this:

html = loader.render_to_string('Resume/profile.html', {'user_profile':user_profile})

your code will look like this:

from django.template import loader
def resume(request,id):
    user_profile=Profile.objects.get(pk=id)
    html = loader.render_to_string('Resume/profile.html', {'user_profile':user_profile})
    options={
        'page-size':'Letter',
        'encoding' : 'UTF-8',
    }
    
    pdf= pdfkit.from_string(html, pdf_url)
    response= HttpResponse(pdf, content_type='application/pdf')
    response['Content-Disposition']= 'attachment'
    return response
