RE: PDF generator decision

Show all headers | View raw

Christian, have you tried pod[1]? You can use create templates in OpenDocument format and then create the PDFs just passing the arguments, like:

args = {'name':'John', 'email':'john@example.com'}
renderer = Renderer('template.odt', args, 'result.odt')renderer.run()

>> So far I'd like to ask which is the (probably) best way to create PDFs in Python (3)? It is important for me that I am able to specify not only background graphics, paragaphs, tables and so on but also to specify page headers/footers. The reason is that I have a bunch of documents to be generated (including Invoice templates, Quotes - stuff like that).
