Trouble saving the file in X directory

[ezee969]

Hello, can i get some help? im triying to save the PDF file in my desktop using : output ( "pdf_name" , C:\Users\Myname ).
And im getting the following error:

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \uXXXX escape

Anyone knows how to fix it?

EDIT; i tried using output ( "pdf_name" , r "C:\Users\Myname" ) and output ( "pdf_name" , C:/Users/Myname ) and i dont get the error anymore but it saves the file in the current folder im working with python,

Under Windows, you should be able to save your file this way:

pdf.output(r"C:\Users\MyName\pdf_name.pdf")

If you don't know the r string prefix in Python, you may want to check this explanation:

The error you witness could be caused by other parts of your code...
Could you provided some minimal code reproducing your issue please, so that I can help you further?
